1. Two-fifths of the socks in box are , one-third is blue, and the rest are green. What is the ratio of the green socks to the blue socks?
- A. 4:5
- B. 4:5
- C. 4:5
- D. 4:5
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Red socks = 2/5 of total
Blue socks = 1/3 of total
Rest are green, so green socks
= 1 - 2/5 + 1/3
= 1 - (6 + 5)/15
= 1 - 11/15
= (15 - 11)/15
= 4/15 of total
Hence, ratio of green to blue socks
= 4/15 : 1/3
= 4 : 5
So, the correct answer choice is option 1
