uteta15p2 q98

0. A box contains a dozen bulbs in which few are defective and remaining are good. Which of the following cannot be a ratio of defective bulbs to good bulbs?

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : (D) If the ratio is 1 : 4, Then the number of defective bulbs = x and number of good bulbs = 4x
    ∴ x + 4x = 12
    ⇒ 5x = 12
    which is not possible for any integral value of x.
    So, 1 : 4 is not possible.
