Farm Tax is levied on the 45% of the cultivated Land. The tax department collected total $ 3840 through the farm Tax from the village of Mr. willam. Mr. willam paid only $ 480 as farm tax. The percentage of total land of Mr. willam over the total taxable land of the village is :	Options:  A) 15%  B) 25%  C) 15.125%  D) 27.78%  E) none
Only trick n this question is to ignore 45% information as farm tax is levied uniformly in the village and that includes Mr William's land.   What percentage of tax Mr William paid ? 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)x100 =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 (100/45) = 27.78% and the answer is not there in the options.   The correct answer is (27.78%).
