C2	33
C3	26
C4	23
C5	43
C6	41

What is the ratio of number of shirts of company C₁ to the total number of shirts of company C₂ and C₃?
1. 27 ∶ 61
2. 61 ∶ 27
3. 59 ∶ 27
4. 27 ∶ 59

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 27 ∶ 59

Given:

Number of shirts in company C₁ = 27

Number of shirts in company C₂ =  33

Number of shirts in company C₃ = 26

Calculation:

Sum of the shirts in C₂ and C₃ = 33 + 26 = 59

⇒ Number of shirts in company C₁/Sum of the shirts in C₂ and C₃ = 27/59

∴ The ratio of the number of shirts of company C₁ to the total number of shirts of company C₂ and C₃ is 27 : 59.
