• B. 1:3
• C. 1:2
• D. 5:3
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1:3

Average unit sale price of Dell $=\frac{\text{value-wise share}}{\text{volume-wise share}}=\frac{\frac{15}{100}\times 16500000}{(\frac{30}{100}\times 15000)}=550\$$
Average unit price of Toshiba $=\frac{\frac{12}{100}\times 16500000}{\frac{8}{100}\times 15000}=1650\$$
Reqd. ratio = 550:1650 = 1:3
