Given:

Rajat's income = Rs. 55,000

Sameer's income = Rs. 40,000

Rajat's savings = 3/11 of 55,000 = (3 × 5000) = Rs. 15,000

Sameer's savings = 2/5 of 40,000 = Rs. 16,000

Calculate expenditures:

Rajat's expenditure = 55,000 − 15,000 = Rs. 40,000

Sameer's expenditure = 40,000 − 16,000 = Rs. 24,000

Find Sameer's expenditure as a percentage of Rajat's expenditure:

⇒ (24,000 ÷ 40,000) × 100 = 60%

Thus, the correct answer is 60%.
