Direction: Bar-chart showing the Sales of Books (in 1000) from six-branches B1 B2 , B3 , B4 , B5 and B6 of a Publishing Company in 2000 and 2001 is given below. Study the chart and answer the questions.
-
What is the ratio of the total sales of branch B2 for both the years to the total sales of branch B4 for both years?
-
- 2 : 3
- 3 : 5
- 5 : 7
- 7 : 9
Correct Option: D
From the given bar diagram , we see
Total sales of branch B2 for both the years = 75 + 65 = 140
Total sales of branch B4 for both the years = 85 + 95 = 180
Required ratio = Total sales of branch B2 for both the years : Total sales of branch B4 for both the years
∴ Required ratio = 140 : 180 = 7 : 9
