Correct Answer :

Option C

2:3

Solution :

The correct option is 2:3.

From the given line graph titled "Number of Product Sold", we can observe the data points for each shop along the vertical axis:

- Number of products sold by Shop A = 120
- Number of products sold by Shop B = 180
- Number of products sold by Shop C = 150
- Number of products sold by Shop D = 210
- Number of products sold by Shop E = 170

We are required to find the ratio of the number of products sold by shop A to that of shop B.


Required Ratio=Number of products sold by ANumber of products sold by B

Substitute the values from the graph into the formula:


Required Ratio=120180

Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, 60:


Required Ratio=23=2:3

Thus, the ratio of the number of products sold by shop A to that of shop B is 2:3.
