Question

• A. 15:17
• B. 23:25
• C. 27:29
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

23:25

Average production of Company X in the period 1998 -- 2000

$=\left[\frac{1}{3}\times \left(25+50+40\right)\right]=\left(\frac{115}{3}\right)lakhtons.$

Average production of Company Y in the period 1998 -- 2000

$=\left[\frac{1}{3}\times \left(35+40+50\right)\right]=\left(\frac{125}{3}\right)lakhtons.$

$\therefore$ Required ratio $\frac{\left(\frac{115}{3}\right)}{\left(\frac{125}{3}\right)}=\frac{115}{125}=\frac{23}{25}.$
