Answer: b
Explanation: "u / i = 6 / 2 i / b = 5 / 1 since i is multiple of both 2 ( as per first ratio ) and 5 ( as per second ratio ) so let ' s assume that i = 10 i . e . multiplying teh first ratio by 5 and second ration by 2 in each numerator and denominator then , u : i : b = 30 : 18 : 2 i . e . u : b = 30 : 2 answer : option b"
