Q. If the production of wheat is 6 times that of Barley, then what is ratio between yield per acre of Wheat and Barley?

• A. 3:2
• B. 3:1
• C. 12:1
• D. 2:3
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3:1

Let the total production of barley be T tonnes and let Z acres of land be put under barley production.
Total production of wheat = 6T
Total area under wheat production = 2Z
Yield/acre of wheat $=\frac{6T}{2Z}=\frac{3T}{Z}$
Yield/acre of barley $=\frac{T}{Z}$
Reqd. ratio $=\frac{3T}{z}:\frac{T}{Z}=3:1$
