Formula used:

Amount spent on a category = (Angle for that category / 360°) × Total Income

Calculation:

Amount on Savings = (Angle for Savings / 360°) × Monthly Income

Amount on Savings = (36° / 360°) × 50,000

Amount on Savings = (1 / 10) × 50,000

Amount on Savings = ₹ 5,000

Amount on Food = (Angle for Food / 360°) × Monthly Income

Amount on Food = (90° / 360°) × 50,000

Amount on Food = (1 / 4) × 50,000

Amount on Food = ₹ 12,500

The ratio of the amount of 'Savings' to the amount spent on 'Food':

Ratio = 5,000 : 12,500

Ratio = 10 : 25

Ratio = 2 : 5

∴ The correct answer is option 3.
