Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{CP}} = {\text{P}} \times \frac{{100}}{{112}} \cr
& {\text{CP}} = {\text{Q}} \times \frac{{100}}{{96}} \cr
& \frac{{{\text{P}} \times 100}}{{112}} = \frac{{{\text{Q}} \times 100}}{{96}} \cr
& {\text{P}}:{\text{Q}} = 112:96 \cr
& {\text{P}}:{\text{Q}} = 56:48 \cr
& {\text{P}}:{\text{Q}} = 7:6 \cr
& {\text{Q}}:{\text{P}} = 6:7 \cr} $$
