B) 218 : 143

C) 148 : 221

D) 143 : 218

E) None of these

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Required ratio

= $\frac{(1.04  lakhs \times 51)}{(1.11  lakhs\times32)}$%

= $\left(\frac{1.04\times51}{1.11\times32}\right)$

= $\frac{104\times51}{111\times32}$

= $\left(\frac{13\times17}{37\times4}\right)$

= $\frac{221}{148}$ = 221 : 148
