    According to given bar graph , we have
    The number of non-working women in the year 2009 = 40 millions
    The number of working women in the year 2009 = 70 millions
    Required ratio = The number of working women in the year 2009 : The number of non-working women in the year 2009

    Correct Option: A

    According to given bar graph , we have
    The number of non-working women in the year 2009 = 40 millions
    The number of working women in the year 2009 = 70 millions
    Required ratio = The number of working women in the year 2009 : The number of non-working women in the year 2009
    ∴ Required ratio = 70 : 40 = 7 : 4

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    The number of non-working women in the year 2010 = 35 millions
    The number of working women in the year 2010 = 85 millions
    Total number of working and non-working women in the year 2010 =85 + 35 = 120 millions

    Required percentage =
    The number of non-working women in the year 2010
    × 100
    Total number of working and non-working women in the year 2010

    Correct Option: C

    From the given bar diagram , we see
