Question

The length of a table is 2 m and its breadth is 50 cm. Find the ratio of the length of the table to its breadth.

• A. 4:1
• B. 2:1
• C. 1:4
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

4:1

B

2:1

Ratio is obtained when two quantities are in the same unit. So, convert either meter to a centimeter or vice-versa. Length of the table in centimetres is equal to 200 cm and breadth is 50 cm, so the length of table to its breadth is $\frac{200}{50}=\frac{4}{1}=4:1$.
