Answer 1

The height of each bar gives the number of students who played particular sports.
Total number of students who played in 2019 = sum of length of all black bars
= 10 + 10 + 10 + 15 = 45

Total number of students who played in 2018 = sum of length of all red bars
= 5 + 15 + 20 + 10 = 50

$\therefore$ the required ratio = 45 : 50 = 9 : 10
