    B 7:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Number of sweets with ‘P’ = 504 × (8/21) = 192 Number of sweets with ‘R’ = 504 × (6/21) = 144 Number of cream rolls with ‘P’ = 36 × (2/9) = 8 Number of cream rolls with ‘R’ = 36 × (4/9) = 16 So, required ratio = (192 + 8):(144 + 16) = 200:160 = 5:4
