Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 29 : 14

Formula used:

Average = Sum of all the terms/Total number of terms

Calculation:

Sum of all oil imports from Iraq in all the years = 15.8 + 14.4 + 15 + 17.2 + 24.6 = 87

Average of all oil imports from Iraq in all the years = 87/5 = 17.4

Sum of all oil imports from Venezuela in all the years = 7.2 + 7.6 + 7.3 + 10.3 + 9.6 = 42

Average of all oil imports from Venezuela in all the years = 42/5 = 8.4

Ratio = 17.4/8.4 = 29/14

∴ The required ratio is 29 ∶ 14
