Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Total number of shirts sold by store C =8% $ \text{of 84000=}\frac{8}{100}\times 84000=6720 $ Number of linen shirts sold by store F $ =\frac{7}{10}\text{of (14} $ % $ of\text{84000)} $ $ =\frac{7}{10}\times \frac{14}{100}\times 84000=8232 $

$ \therefore $ Required ratio $ =6720:8232=40:49 $
