farm tax is levied on the 90 % of the cultivated land . the tax department collected total $ 3840 through the farm tax from the village of mr . william . mr . william paid only $ 480 as farm tax . the percentage of total land of mr . willam over the total taxable land of the village is :
"this will be equal to the percentage of total cultivated land he holds over the total cultivated land in the village . that leads to ( 480 / 3840 ) x 100 = 12.5 % in percentage terms . but the question asks ratio between his total land to total cultivated land . hence the answer is 12.5 % x ( 100 / 90 ) = 13.88 % the correct answer is ( d ) ."
