Question

What is the ratio of number of deaths due to truck accidents to the total number of accidents due to all the vehicles together?

• A. 3 : 1400
• B. 3 : 40
• C. 1 : 9600
• D. 2 : 23
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3 : 40

Number of deaths due to truck accidents $=48000\times \frac{18}{100}\times \frac{5}{12}$
$\therefore$ required ratio $=48000\times \frac{18}{100}\times \frac{5}{12}:48000=90:1200=3:40$
