From 2020 to 2021, if P is the difference between the number of Hindi magazines and Q is the difference between the number of English magazines published, then P : Q is:
A2 : 3
B1 : 2
C1 : 1 ✓ Correct
D2 : 1
Correct answer: (C) 1 : 1
Explanation
The ratio P to Q is 1 to 1, so that is the answer.
Total Hindi magazines in 2020 are 36 and in 2021 are 52, a difference P of 16.
Total English magazines in 2020 are 44 and in 2021 are 60, a difference Q of 16.
So P is 16 and Q is 16.
The ratio 16 to 16 simplifies to 1 to 1.
Hence 1 to 1 is correct.
