• A. Ratio
• B. Proportion
• C. Ratio and Proportion
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Number of apples $=25$

Number of mangoes $=15$

Number of oranges $=10$

Total number of fruits $=25+15+10=50$

Ratio of the apples to the total number of fruits $=\frac{\text{Number ~of ~apples}}{\text{Total~ number~ of~ fruits}}$

= $\frac{25}{50}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the ratio of apples to the total number of fruits $=1:2$
