A2 : 9
B1 : 8 ✓ Correct
C2 : 15
D2 : 5
Correct answer: (B) 1 : 8 — The ratio is 1 to 8, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The ratio is 1 to 8, so that is the answer.
★English sports readership in 2020 is 0.8 lakh.
★Across 2020 to 2023 it is 0.8 plus 1.2 plus 2.0 plus 2.4 lakh.
★That total is 6.4 lakh.
★So the ratio is 0.8 to 6.4.
★Dividing both by 0.8 gives 1 to 8.
