A35:38
B35:36 ✓ Correct
C39:40
D45:46
Correct answer: (B) 35:36
Explanation
The ratio is 35 to 36.
SBI interviewed 40 on Friday and 30 on Saturday, giving 70.
BOI interviewed 20 on Friday and 52 on Saturday, giving 72.
So the ratio is 70 to 72.
Dividing both by 2 gives 35 to 36.
So the ratio simplifies to 35 to 36.
So the answer is 35 to 36.
