Direction: In the following bar diagram sales of books (in thousand numbers) from six branches – B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 of a publishing company in 2009 and 2010 have been shown. Study the graph and answer the questions.
-
The ratio of the total sales of branch B2 for both the years to the total sales of branch B4 for both the years is
-
- 7 : 9
- 2 : 3
- 4 : 5
- 3 : 5
Correct Option: A
From the given bar diagram , we see
Total sales of branch B2 for both the years 2009 and 2010 = 75 + 65 = 140
Total sales of branch B4 for both the years 2009 and 2010 = 85 + 95 = 180
Required ratio = Total sales of branch B2 for both the years 2009 and 2010 : Total sales of branch B4 for both the years 2009 and 2010
Required ratio = 140 : 180 = 7 : 9
