Accepted Answer

Step 1: Calculate total bonus paid over the years 2005 to 2009.
Bonus = 3.00 + 4.25 + 4.50 + 4.85 + 4.90 = 21.50 lakh

Step 2: Calculate total fuel and transport expenditure over the same period.
Fuel and transport = 110 + 145 + 120 + 168 + 190 = 733 lakh

Step 3: Find the percentage of total bonus to total fuel and transport.
Percentage = (Total Bonus / Total Fuel and Transport) × 100
= (21.50 / 733) × 100 ≈ 2.9327%

Step 4: Round to two decimal places.
= 2.93%

Step 5: Check options. The closest correct option is 3.29%, but since our calculation is 2.93%, we must re-check calculations.

Rechecking:
Bonus total: 3.00 + 4.25 + 4.50 + 4.85 + 4.90 = 21.50 (correct)
Fuel and transport total: 110 + 145 + 120 + 168 + 190 = 733 (correct)
Percentage = (21.50 / 733) * 100 = 2.9327% ≈ 2.93%

Therefore, the correct answer is 2.93%.

Hence, option 4 is correct.
