Directions (31-35):The Line graph shows total number of quantities of items (P + Q) dispatched and number of quantities of item ‘Q’ dispatched out of total items of P & Q dispatched from four (A, B C & D) different warehouses in the month of march. Read the following line chart carefully and answer the questions given below.

Find the ratio of total number of item P dispatched from D and A together to that of B and C together.

The correct answer is 29:16.

Step 1: Understand the given line chart
The line graph provides data regarding items dispatched from four warehouses (A, B, C, and D):
1. Blue line: Total quantity of items (P + Q) dispatched.
2. Red line: Quantity of item Q dispatched.
To find the quantity of item P dispatched from any warehouse, we subtract the quantity of item Q from the total quantity (P + Q):

Quantity of item P = Total items (P + Q) - Item Q

Step 2: Calculate the quantity of item P for each warehouse

Warehouse A:
Total items (P + Q) = 480
Item Q = 220

$\text{Item P}=480-220=260$

Warehouse B:
Total items (P + Q) = 560
Item Q = 380

$\text{Item P}=560-380=180$

Warehouse C:
Total items (P + Q) = 320
Item Q = 180

$\text{Item P}=320-180=140$

Warehouse D:
Total items (P + Q) = 640
Item Q = 320

$\text{Item P}=640-320=320$

Step 3: Calculate total item P for (D + A) and (B + C)

Item P dispatched from D and A together:

$\text{Total (D + A)}=320+260=580$

Item P dispatched from B and C together:

$\text{Total (B + C)}=180+140=320$

Step 4: Find the required ratio

Ratio of item P dispatched from (D + A) to (B + C):

$\text{Ratio}=580:320$

Dividing both sides by 20:

$\frac{580}{20}:\frac{320}{20}=29:16$

Therefore, the required ratio is 29:16.
