Required ratio = Number of products not sold by the company in the year 2007 : Number of products not sold by the company in the year 2005
Correct Option: C
As per given graph ,
Number of products not sold by the company in the year 2007 = Number of products manufactured − Number of products sold = 45 - 42.5 = 2.5 ( in thousands )
Number of products not sold by the company in the year 2005 = Number of products manufactured − Number of products sold = 37.5 - 30 = 7.5 ( in thousands )
∵ ratio = Number of products not sold by the company in the year 2007 : Number of products not sold by the company in the year 2005
= 2.5 : 7.5 = 1 : 3

Required Difference = Number of products manufactured in 2009 - Number of products manufactured in 2008
Correct Option: D
From the given graph, We can see that,
Number of products manufactured in 2009 = (52.5) × 1000
Number of products manufactured in 2008 = (48) × 1000
Required Difference = Number of products manufactured in 2009 - Number of products manufactured in 2008
Required Difference = ( 52.5 − 48 ) × 1000 = 4.5 x 1000 = 4500
