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.
