    C Both I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, For Statement I: Expenditure on C = (25/100) × 42000 = 10500 Expenditure on A = (12/100) × 42000 = 5040 C - A = 10500 - 5040 = 546 ⇒ Statement I is false For Statement II: Expenditure on A = 5040 Expenditure on D = (15/100) × 42000 = 6300 A/D = 5040/6300 = 4 : 5 ⇒ Statement II is false ∴ Neither I nor II is correct
