Question

If the exports of country A in 2007 and imports of B in 2008 were 15 million and 10 million respectively, then the ratio of imports of A in 2007 to the exports of B in 2008 was?

• A. 8:9
• B. 9:8
• C. 2:3
• D. 3:2
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B 9:8

For country A in 2007,
$\Rightarrow \frac{Imports}{Exports}=0.75$
$\Rightarrow$ Imports $=0.75\times 15$
=Rs. 11.25 million
For country B in 2008,
$\frac{Imports}{Exports}=1$
$\Rightarrow$ Imports = 1 $\times$ 10=Rs. 10 million
$\therefore$ Required ratio = 11.25:10
= 1125:1000=9:8
