A box contains 10 balls, some are red and some are black. Each of the following could be the ratio of the red to black balls EXCEPT ---

A 1:1
B 3:2
C 4:1
D 5:1

Correct Answer: 5:1

The number of balls(10) must be divisible by the sum of the ratios. But, 10 is not divisible by the sum of the ratios 5:1 which is (5 + 1 = 6). So, the ratio of the balls cannot be 5:1.
