The table shows the revenue in lakh rupees earned by a publishing house from the sale of three types of publications, namely journals, magazines and books, during four years from 2020 to 2023. The year-wise revenue is: 2020, journals 45, magazines 35, books 70; 2021, journals 47, magazines 40, books 80; 2022, journals 40, magazines 42, books 87; 2023, journals 40, magazines 54, books 79. Based on the data, answer the questions that follow.
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 — The ratio P to Q is 1 to 1, so that is the answer.
Explanation
