The given table represents the production of different types of motorcycles (in thousands) over a period of six years. Study the table carefully and answer the question that follows.
| Year → | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 |
| Motercycles (type) ↓ | ||||||
| A | 95 | 84 | 85 | 89 | 80 | 98 |
| B | 98 | 87 | 89 | 88 | 96 | 92 |
| C | 104 | 89 | 95 | 92 | 100 | 110 |
| D | 103 | 100 | 102 | 95 | 104 | 120 |
What is the ratio of the total number of motorcycles of types B produced in 2016 and 2018 to the total number of motorcycles of type D produced in 2013, 2015 and 2016?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e 3 : 5.
| Understanding/Application |
|
Total bikes of type B produced in 2016 and 2018 = (88 + 92) = 180 Total bikes of type D produced in 2013, 2015, and 2016 = (103 + 102 + 95) = 300 |
|
Thus, the ratio will be - 180: 300 9: 15 3: 5 |
