uteta15p2 q98

98A 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 : 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.
