Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Compound ratio = product of the first terms : product of the second terms = (2×9):(3×10)(2 \times 9) : (3 \times 10).

  2. 18:30=3:518 : 30 = 3 : 5.

Worth noting

Adding the terms gives 11:1311 : 13, and cross-multiplying gives 20:2720 : 27; neither is a compound ratio.
