• Rs. 360.32 lakh crore.

Answer 1

Rs. 27.16 lakh crore.

Explanation:

The correct answer is – Rs. 27.16 lakh crore, because if Rs. 1.7 lakh crore amounts to 6.26 percent of the total budget, then the total budget can be calculated as follows:

`[(1.7  "lakh crore")/6.26 xx 100] = "Rs." 27.156  "lakh crore"`.

Therefore, 'Rs. 27.16 lakh crore.' is the closest approximation of the total budget amount.
