Direction: Bar chart showing the sales of books (in 1000) from six branches B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 of a publishing company in 2000 and 2001 is given below. Study the chart and answer the questions.
-
What is the ratio of the total sales of Branch B2 for both the years to the total sales of Branch B4 for both the years?
-
- 2:3
- 3:5
- 5:7
- 7:9
Correct Option: D
∴ Required ratio = the ratio of the total sales of Branch B2 in 2000 and 2001 years : the ratio of the total sales of Branch B4 in 2000 and 2001 years
the ratio of the total sales of Branch B2 in 2000 and 2001 years = 75 + 65 = 140
the ratio of the total sales of Branch B4 in 2000 and 2001 years = 85 + 95 = 180
Required ratio = 140:180 = 7:9
