Correct Answer :

Option E

19:22

Solution :

The correct option is 19:22.

From the given line graph, we can observe the following data points for the respective shops:
Line Graph
• Total TV sold by shop D (represented by the blue line) = 760
• Total TV sold by shop B (represented by the blue line) = 600
• Difference between cell phone and TV sold by shop B (represented by the orange line) = 280

It is given that the total number of cell phones sold by all shops is greater than the total number of TVs sold. Therefore, for any shop:

Cell phones sold=Total TV sold+Difference

Using this relation for shop B:

Cell phones sold by shop B=600+280=880

Now, we calculate the required ratio of TV sold by shop D to cell phones sold by shop B:

Required Ratio=TV sold by DCell phones sold by B=760880

Simplifying the ratio by dividing both numbers by 40:

Required Ratio=1922=19:22

Hence, the required ratio is 19:22.
