The given bar graph indicates the production of sugar (in lakh tonnes) by three different sugar companies P, Q, and R from the year 2015 to 2019. Study the bar graph and answer the question that follows.
Production of sugar by companies P, Q, and R from 2015 to 2019
The ratio of the average production of sugar by company P from the year 2015 to 2019 to the average production of sugar by company R from the year 2015 to 2019 is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 6: 5.
According to the question
The average production of sugar by company P from the year 2015 to 2019
= (80 + 70 + 80 + 100 + 120) / 5 = 450/5 = 90
The average production of sugar by company R from the year 2015 to 2019
= (50 + 70 + 65 + 90 + 100)/5 = 375/5 = 75
Now,
The required ratio = 90 : 75 = 6: 5
