Correct answer: D

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the required ratio, we need to extract the specific income values from the bar chart for the individuals and years mentioned.

  1. Extract Data Points:

    • Arun's income in 2006 (Blue Bar): The bar reaches the value 18.

    • Suman's income in 2007 (Red Bar): The bar reaches the value 15.

    • Jyoti's income in 2005 (Green Bar): The bar reaches the value 9.

  2. Formulate the Ratio:

    • Ratio = (Arun 2006) : (Suman 2007) : (Jyoti 2005)

    • Ratio = 18 : 15 : 9

  3. Simplify the Ratio:

    • Divide each term by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.

    • 18 / 3 : 15 / 3 : 9 / 3

    • Simplified Ratio = 6 : 5 : 3
