The given bar graph shows the sales of cars from six branches of a dealer B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, during two consecutive years 2018 and 2019. Sky Blue colour corresponds to the year 2018 and Dark Blue colour corresponds to the year 2019.
In the bar graph, the ratio of the total sales from branches B1, B2 and B3 taken together for the year 2018 to the sales from the branches B6, B4 and B5 for the year 2019, is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 25 : 27.
In 2018, total sales by B1, B2, B3 = 80 + 75 + 95 = 250
In 2018, total sales by B4, B5, B6 = 95 + 95 +80 = 270
Thus ratio of sales from branches B1, B2 and B3 taken together for the year 2018 to the sales from the branches B6, B4 and B5 for the year 2019 = 250/270
⇒ 25/27 or 25 : 27
