• B. 19 : 14
• C. 9 : 8
• D. 14 : 17

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 17 : 12

Solution: Calculation: ⇒ number of units sold in 2014 = 315 ⇒ number of units sold in 2015 = 280 ⇒ total units of the product sold in 2014 and 2015 = (315 + 280) = 595 ⇒ number of product manufactured in 2017 = 420 ∴ Required ratio = 595 : 420 = 17 : 12
