[Show Answer]

Write Here

Let , GDP in 2015=x

Then fiscal rate in 2015(F1)=4x/100=0.04x

GDP in 2015=1.1x

Fiscal rate in 2016(F2)=5% of 1.1x=0.055x

The percentage increase in actual fiscal deficit= $\frac{F_2-F_1}{F_1}\times 100$

= $\frac{0.055x-0.04x}{0.04x}\times 100$

= $\frac{0.015x}{0.04x}\times 100$

=0.375 x 100

=37.5 (Ans)
