Question

A bag contains 2 pink, 3 red and 5 blue balls. Find the ratio of pink balls to the total number of balls.

• A. 10:2
• B. 2:5
• C. 1:5
• D. 5:1

Answer 1

The correct option is C

1:5

Given that the bag contains 2 pink, 3 red and 5 blue balls.

So total number of balls = 2+3+5 = 10

$\therefore$ Ratio of pink balls to the total number of balls = 2:10 = $\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}=1:5$
