Question

What is the ratio of the production of Pulses to that of Wheat over the six years ?

• A. 25 : 27
• B. 23 : 25
• C. 23 : 28
• D. 23 : 27

Hint:

When finding ratios across years, always sum totals before simplifying.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Pulses production over years 2011 = 150, 2012 = 50, 2013 = 200, 2014 = 150, 2015 = 250, 2016 = 350.
Total Pulses = \( 1150 \). Step 2: Wheat production over years 2011 = 250, 2012 = 150, 2013 = 400, 2014 = 100, 2015 = 150, 2016 = 300.
Total Wheat = \( 1350 \). Step 3: Ratio Pulses : Wheat = \( 1150 : 1350 = 115 : 135 = 23 : 27 \). \[ \boxed{23 : 27} \] So the correct option is (d), not (b).
