Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To determine the ratio, we must first calculate the total number of copies distributed for Newspaper A and Newspaper B across all cities (Delhi, Lucknow, Varanasi, and Jaipur).
Calculate Total Distribution for Newspaper A:
Sum = 1000 (Delhi) + 500 (Lucknow) + 200 (Varanasi) + 200 (Jaipur)
Total A = 1900
Calculate Total Distribution for Newspaper B:
Sum = 750 (Delhi) + 250 (Lucknow) + 150 (Varanasi) + 350 (Jaipur)
Total B = 1500
Determine the Ratio:
Ratio A : B = 1900 : 1500
Simplifying by dividing both sides by 100: 19 : 15
