Prithvi has pears and peaches in the ratio of 10:13. Celine has pears and peaches in the ratio of 7:9. Vikram has pears and peaches in the ratio of 5:7. Who has a greater ratio of pears to peaches?

A.

Vikram

B.

Prithvi

C.

All are equal

D.

Celine

Correct option is D

Given:
​Prithvi's ratio of pears to peaches = 10:13
Celine's ratio of pears to peaches = 7:9
Vikram's ratio of pears to peaches = 5:7
Formula Used:
For any ratio a : b, the decimal value is calculated as ab.\frac{a}{b}​.​​
Solution:

For Prithvi: 1013\frac{10}{13}​​

For Celine: 79\frac{7}{9}​​

For Vikram: 57\frac{5}{7}​​​

The least common multiple of 13, 9, and 7 is 819.

For Prithvi: 1013×6363=630819\frac{10}{13} \times\frac{ 63}{63} = \frac{630}{819}​​

For Celine: 79×9191=637819\frac{7}{9} \times\frac{ 91}{91} = \frac{637}{819}​​

For Vikram: 57×117117=585819\frac{5}{7​} \times \frac{ 117}{117} =\frac{ 585}{819}​​

Celine has the greatest numerator, which means she has the greatest ratio of pears to peaches.
So, the correct answer is option (d) Celine.
