The correct answer is B. 3:4

Total budget =$7,200

Expenditure on Health = x/$7200 × 3600 = 600

3600x = 600 × $7200

x = 600×$7200/3600

x = $1,200

Therefore, the budget allocated to Health is $1,200

Expenditure on Agriculture =x /$7200 × 3600 = 800

3600x = 800 × $7200

x = 800 × $7200/3600

x=$1,600 

Therefore, the budget allocated to Agriculture is $1,600

Ratio of expenditure on Health to Agriculture; 

Ratio=1200:1600=3:4
