Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
A ratio compares two quantities in a fixed order. For quantities a and b, the ratio a:b is simplified by dividing both terms by their greatest common divisor.
The order matters: the first named quantity supplies the first term, and the second named quantity supplies the second term.
Application
From the table, the number of car travellers to Delhi is 19,200, and the number of air travellers to Mumbai is 18,200.
Form the requested ratio in the stated order: 19,200:18,200.
The greatest common divisor of 19,200 and 18,200 is 200. Dividing both terms by 200 gives 96:91.
Cross-check
96 × 200 = 19,200 and 91 × 200 = 18,200, so the simplified ratio preserves both original quantities in the correct order.
Result
Therefore, the required ratio is 96:91.
