Question : Direction: Study the following graph and answer the questions based on it.
Production of fertilizers by a company (in 10000 tonnes over the years 1995–2002)
The ratio of the total production of fertilizers in the years 1996 and 1997 to that of total production in the years 1995, 1998, and 2000 is:
Option 1: 5 : 6
Option 2: 6 : 5
Option 3: 20 : 29
Option 4: 13 : 24
Correct Answer: 5 : 6
Solution :
As per the given bar graph in question,
Total production of fertilizers in the years 1996 and 1997 = 40 + 60 = 100
Total production of fertilizers in the years 1995, 1998 and 2000 = 25 + 45 + 50 = 120
Required ratio = Total production of fertilizers in the years 1996 and 1997 : Total production of fertilizers in the years 1995, 1998, and 2000
Hence, the correct answer is 5 : 6.
