[b]Target question => [/b]The ratio of the number of households to the number of television is greater for which of the two countries?

[b]Statement 1 =>[/b] h1 > h2
Ratio of households to televisions cannot be evaluated without any information on t1 and t2. Hence, statement 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT

[b]Statement 2 =>[/b] t2 > t1
Ratio of households to televisions cannot be evaluated without any information on h1 and h2. Hence, statement 2 is NOT SUFFICIENT

[b]Combining both statements together => [/b]
From statement 1 => h1 > h2
From statement 2 => t2 > t1
Given that t1 is lesser than the ratio of h1/t1 > h2/t2 so ratio of number of households to number of television in country 1 is greater than that of country 2 because h1 is a greater numerator divided by a lesser denominator and h2 is a lesser numerator divided by a greater denominator so both statements combined together ARE SUFFICIENT

[b]Answer = C[/b]
