Q
ratio of increase of internet penetration from 2016-17 to 2018-19 is
Explanation:
C. 7:11
Answer:
The Correct Answer would be B)7 : 12. Let us look upon how we find out that this was the right answer.
Explanation:
The given context is talking about the increment in usage of internet among Indians since last few years. As the world suffered from the deadly Covid-19 or Corona pandemic, many countries including India went through 1 - 1.5 years of lockdown, that still seems functionable whenever the conditions began to go downwards, resulting in shifting majority of offline jobs into online, including classes, paperworks, teaching, etc. As a result, there is a vast increment in usage of internet since 2019.
Now, coming to the question, in the year 2016 - 2017, according to question, initially 405 million users were using internet. By the end of 2017, they became 475 million. Hence, there are total 475 - 405 = 70 million new users who started using internet by the end of 2017. Similarly, in 2018, there were 500 million users. By the end of 2019, they became 620 million. Hence, 620 - 500 = 120 million new users were in the race.
Hence, the ratio of the increment in users in these years would be the designated answer.
70 : 120 = 7 : 12
Hence, the ratio of increase of internet penetration from 2016-2017 to 2018-2019 is 7 : 12.
