Ratio is used for comparison.
Lets begin with Amit
Civil cases = 20
Criminal cases = 14
The ratio of civil to criminal cases is :
20/14 = 10/7
= 10 : 7
Sumit
Civil cases = 17
Criminal cases = 11
Ratio is :
17 : 11
To compare these two we must get a common denominator for them.
10/7 and 17/11
LCM of 7 and 11 is 77
Now :
Amit = 110/77
Sumit = 119/77
Since Sumit has a larger fraction, Amit has the lower ratio.

According to the given statement, Ratio of Civil to Criminal cases of Advocate Amit annually is 20:14
= 10:7
= 1.43(approx)
And, the ratio of Civil to Criminal cases of Advocate Sumit annually is
17:11
=1.54 ( approx)
As 1.43<1.54.
Therefore, Amit has a lower ratio of civil to criminal cases as compared to Sumit."
