Given:

The tax on the salary of C is \({{1} \over 4}\) of the salary and savings are \({{1} \over 3}\) of the salary.

Calculation:

Let the salary of C be 12a

So,

tax = 12a × \({{1} \over 4}\)

⇒ 3a

savings = 12a × \({{1} \over 3}\)

⇒ 4a

So, expenditure  = 12a - 3a - 4a

⇒ 5a

Ratio of expenditure : saving = 5a : 4a

⇒ 5 : 4

∴ The required answer is 5 : 4.
