Question

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

• A. 1:4
• B. 2:4
• C. 4:1
• D. 3:1

Answer 1

The correct option is C

4:1

The ratio is obtained when two quantities are of the same unit.

So, convert either meter to a centimeter or vice-versa

Length of the table = 2 m
= 200 cm
and breadth = 50 cm

So the ratio of the length of the table to its breadth = $\frac{200}{50}=\frac{4}{1}=4:1$
