Correct Answer: 23 : 25
Solution :
As per the graph,
The total production of company X in the period 1998 - 2000 = 25 + 50 + 40 = 115 lakh tonnes
The number of years = 3
The average production of company X in the period 1998-2000 = $\frac{\text{The total production of company X in the period 1998-2000}}{{\text{The number of years}}}$
= $\frac{115}{3}$ lakh tonnes
The total production of company Y in the period 1998-2000 = 35 + 40 + 50 = 125 lakh tonnes
The number of years = 3
= $\frac{\text{The total production of company Y in the period 1998-2000}}{{\text{The number of years}}}$
The average production of company Y in the period 1998-2000 = $\frac{125}{3}$ lakh tonnes
The required ratio = $\frac{115}{3}:\frac{125}{3}$
= 23 : 25
Hence, the correct answer is 23 : 25.
