What is the ratio of the number of books for subject B1 to the average number of books per subject?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 10 : 11.

The number of books for subject B1 = 120

We know that,

Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations

Average number of books per subject = (120 + 150 + 150 + 120 + 120)/5 = 660/5 = 132

Required ratio = 120 : 132 = 20 : 22 = 10 : 11
