Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Celine.
Prithvi = Pears/Peaches = 10/13
Celine = Pears/Peaches = 7/9
Vikram = Pears/Peaches = 5/7
Converting into decimals
Prithvi = 0.769 Celine = 0.778, and Vikram = 0.714
The highest decimal value corresponds to the highest ratio.
Therefore, Celine, with a ratio of 7/9 = 0.778, has the greatest ratio of pears to peaches
Hence,
Celine has the greatest ratio of pears to peaches
