The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Read Balu's percentages from the inner ring.
Investments is 24% and Food is 14% of Balu's salary.

Step 2: Add the two percentages.
24 plus 14 equals 38%.

Step 3: Apply the combined percentage to the salary.
38% of Rs. 15,000 equals 0.38 times 15000, which is 5700.

Final Answer:
Balu's expenditure on Investments and Food together is Rs. 5700. \[ \boxed{Rs.\ 5700} \]
