Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C_1 = \frac{1}{1+1} = \frac{1}{2}\) \(C_2 = \frac{3}{3+8} = \frac{3}{11}\) \(C_D = \frac{4}{4+7} = \frac{4}{11}\) \(Ratio = |C_D - C_2| : |C_1 - C_D|\) \(Ratio = |\frac{4}{11} - \frac{3}{11}| : |\frac{1}{2} - \frac{4}{11}|\) \(Ratio = \frac{1}{11} : \frac{11-8}{22}\)…
