Study the given table and answer the question that follows.
The table shows the yearly production (in thousands) of scooters in five different factories (P, Q, R, S and T) from 1985 to 1989.
Yearly production (in thousands) of scooters in diferent factories.
| Factory | 1985 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | 1989 |
| P | 20 | 15 | 24 | 13 | 17 |
| Q | 16 | 23 | 41 | 20 | 15 |
| R | 14 | 21 | 30 | 16 | 12 |
| S | 25 | 17 | 15 | 12 | 22 |
| T | 40 | 32 | 39 | 41 | 35 |
| Total | 115 | 108 | 149 | 102 | 101 |
The ratio of the production of scooters by factory P to that by factory T in 1985 is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1 : 2.
According to the given table,
Production of scooters of factory P in 1985 = 20
Production of scooters of factory T in 1985 = 40
The required ratio = 20 : 40
⇒ 1 : 2
Hence the ratio of the production of scooters by factory P to that by factory T in 1985 is 1 : 2.
