Correct Answer: 3 : 2


Solution : According to the question,
For company A,
Sales in 2019 = 12500 units
Sales in 2020 = 10625 units
X is the percentage decrease in the number of units
⇒ X = $\frac{12500 - 10625}{12500}\times 100 = 15$%
Also, for company B,
Sales in 2019 = 34000
Sales in 2020 = 30600
Y is the percentage decrease in the number of units
⇒ Y = $\frac{34000-30600}{34000}\times 100 = 10$%
Now, we have to find the ratio,
X : Y = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 2.
