Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
From the table, total printed newspapers = 2000 + 2000 + 1000 + 1000 = 6000. Total distributed newspapers = 1900 + 1500 + 870 + 740 = 5010. Therefore, the required ratio is 5010 : 6000. Dividing both terms by 30 gives 167 : 200. Hence, the correct answer is 167 : 200.
