The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
From the table, the cities that lie between 10°E and 40°E in the Southern Hemisphere are:
- Buenos Aires (34.30 S)
- Pretoria (South Africa, not listed in the table but inferred from data)
There are 5 cities listed in this range. Therefore, the percentage of cities in this range is \( \frac{5}{20} \times 100 = 25% \).
- Pretoria (South Africa, not listed in the table but inferred from data)
There are 5 cities listed in this range. Therefore, the percentage of cities in this range is \( \frac{5}{20} \times 100 = 25% \).

Solution and Explanation
In the Southern Hemisphere, countries whose names start with a vowel are:
- Australia
- Ecuador
- India
The capitals whose names start with a vowel are:
- Ottawa
- Accra
- Ireland (Dublin)
Thus, the ratio is \( \frac{3}{2} \).
