The price ratio between wheat and rice is 9 : 11, whereas the household consumption ratio is 11 : 13. Calculate the ratio of expenses related to rice and wheat.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 13 : 9.

Price ratio of wheat : rice = 9 : 11

Consumption ratio of wheat : rice = 11 : 13

Expense ratio = Price × Consumption

For wheat = 9 × 11 = 99

For rice = 11 × 13 = 143

So, expense ratio of rice : wheat = 143 : 99 = 13 : 9
