Question

If Kerosene consumption in 2011 is 40% higher than kerosene consumption in 2010. Then the ratio of petrol in 2011 to 2010 (Approx):

• A. 147:100
• B. 8:7
• C. 7:5
• D. cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A

147:100

If kerosene consumption in 2010 is 100 then in 2011 it should be 140. The total consumption in 2010 will be $\frac{2500}{3}$ and in 2011 is 1400. Then the ratio of petrol in 2011 to 2010 is 147:100.
