Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Iraq values are 15.8, 14.4, 15.0, 17.2 and 24.6.
Total import from Iraq = 15.8 + 14.4 + 15.0 + 17.2 + 24.6 = 87.0 million tonnes.
Venezuela values are 7.2, 7.6, 7.3, 10.3 and 9.6.
Total import from Venezuela = 7.2 + 7.6 + 7.3 + 10.3 + 9.6 = 42.0 million tonnes.
Ratio of averages = (87/5):(42/5). Since both are divided by 5, this is the same as 87:42.
87:42 = 29:14.
Hence, the correct answer is 29 : 14.
