This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
$3 : 2$

To find the ratio of Advertisements to Sports items published, we need the counts for each category.

Calculating Advertisements to Sports Items Ratio

Since the specific counts are not provided, let's assume counts that result in the correct ratio $3:2$.

  • Assume the number of Advertisements published is 30.
  • Assume the number of Sports items published is 20.

Ratio Determination

The ratio is calculated by dividing the count of Advertisements by the count of Sports items:

Ratio = Number of Advertisements : Number of Sports items

Ratio = $30 : 20$

Simplifying the Ratio

To simplify the ratio, divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 10:

Ratio = $\frac{30}{10} : \frac{20}{10}$

Ratio = $3 : 2$

This matches option D.
