The Line graph shows the manufacturing (in thousands) of Car A, from 2012-2016. What is the ratio of number of Car B manufactured in 2012 to the number of Car A manufactured in 2014? Year Production Ratio of A to B 2012 17 : 16 2013 8 :7 2014 9 : 10 2015 18 : 19 2016 7 : 6 Correct Answer 80 : 63
Calculation:
The ratio of number of car A and car B in 2012 = 17 : 16
The production of car A in 2012 = 850
Let the ratio of number of car A and car B be 17x and 16x respectively
⇒ 17x = 850
⇒ x = 50
The production of car B = 16x = 16 × 50 = 800
The number of car A manufactured in 2014 = 630
Required ratio = (800 : 630)
⇒ 80 : 63
∴ The ratio of number of Car B manufactured in 2012 to the number of Car A manufactured in 2014 is 80 : 63
