Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer is option 3 i.e. 137 : 101

Application

From the table:

Total number of books on Arts = S1 + S3 + S5 + S7

= 26 + 31 + 36 + 44

Total number of books on Science = S2 + S4 + S6

= 29 + 34 + 38

= 101

Hence, required ratio = 137 : 101
