Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 10 : 9.
Average no. of sales of English newspapers in localities B and D together = (9000+9500+6500)/3 = 25000/3 .....(1)
Average no. of sales of Hindi newspapers in localities A and D = (5500+9500)/2 = 15000/2 = 7500 .....(2)
Dividing 1 and 2
= 25000/3 × 7500 = 250/225 = 10/9
