Could some one answer why the ans of attached question is E? I could find out the ratio using both statements.
1. First statement says that Linda Packed 30 % of books
2. 2ns statement says that robert packed 10 more books than pat.
as we need to find the ratio of robert/Pat
let's assume there are 100 books from first statement we know that Linda packed 30 of them so 70 books were packed by Robert and Pat.
Sec. statement says that robert packed 10 more books than Pat so the no. of books packed by robert must be 40 and linda must have packed 30 books.
This would give us the ratio of no of books packed by Robert and Pat - 40/30 = 4/3
Please correct me ?
