Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Number of books sold through: online mode In the years 2010 and 2011
$ =690\times \frac{40}{100}+720\times \frac{57.5}{100} $
$ =276+414=690 $
Number of books sold through offline mode in the year
$ =690\times \frac{60}{100}+720\times \frac{42.5}{100} $
$ =414+306=720 $
$ \therefore $ Respective ratio $ =690:720=23:24 $
