Question

The bar graph in Fig. 15.8 shows the number of one-day matches played by cricket teams of different countries. Select the correct answer from the given four alternative answers.

The ratio of matches played by England and Australia is

• A. $10:9$
• B. $9:10$
• C. $5:9$
• D. $4:3$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$9:10$

From the graph, we can identify the number of matches played by England as 18 since the bar corresponding to England touches the line of $18$.

Similarly, Australia has played $20$ matches as the bar corresponding to Australia touches the line of $20$.

So, the ratio between number of matches played by England and Australia respectively is

$$\begin{gathered} 18:20 \\ \Rightarrow 9:10(Dividedby2) \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the ratio is $9:10$

So, option (B) is right.
