Correct Answer: 3 : 5


Solution : Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period = $\frac{2640+3720+2520+3360+3120+4320+5040+3120}{8}$ = 3480 million US dollars
So, years with higher foreign exchange reserves than average are 1992– 1993, 1996– 1997, and 1997– 1998 = 3 years.
Also, 5 years worth of foreign exchange reserves fall short of average reserves: 1991– 1992, 1993– 1994, 1994– 1995, 1995– 1996, and 1998– 1999.
So, the required ratio is 3 : 5.
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 5.
