Correct Answer :

Option C

33:26

Solution :

The correct option is 33:26.


To find the required ratio, let us analyze the data given in the two pie charts:




Step 1: Understand the Data
1. Pie Chart (I): Shows the total number of shoes (Sports + Sneakers) sold by five shops (A, B, C, D, E).
• Total number of shoes = 8000
• Percentage share of Shop D = 12%

2. Pie Chart (II): Shows the total number of Sneakers shoes sold by five shops (A, B, C, D, E).
• Total number of Sneakers shoes = 4400
• Percentage share of Shop A = 15%
• Percentage share of Shop D = 10%


Step 2: Calculate the number of Sneakers shoes sold by shop A

Sneakers sold by shop A = 15 %  of  4400

Sneakers sold by shop A = 15 100 × 4400 = 15 × 44 = 660


Step 3: Calculate the number of Sports shoes sold by shop D
First, find the total number of shoes (Sports + Sneakers) sold by shop D:

Total shoes sold by shop D = 12 %  of  8000

Total shoes sold by shop D = 12 100 × 8000 = 12 × 80 = 960


Next, find the number of Sneakers shoes sold by shop D:

Sneakers sold by shop D = 10 %  of  4400

Sneakers sold by shop D = 10 100 × 4400 = 440


Now, subtract the Sneakers sold by shop D from the total shoes sold by shop D to find the Sports shoes sold by shop D:

Sports shoes sold by shop D = Total shoes sold by shop D - Sneakers sold by shop D

Sports shoes sold by shop D = 960 - 440 = 520


Step 4: Find the required ratio
We need to find the ratio of total number of Sneakers shoes sold by shop A to total number of Sports shoes sold by shop D:

Required Ratio = Sneakers sold by shop A Sports shoes sold by shop D

Required Ratio = 660 520

Simplifying the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 20:

Required Ratio = 33 26 = 33 : 26


Thus, the required ratio is 33:26.
