  2. B26 : 21Correct
  3. C25 : 21
  4. D20 : 21
  5. E22 : 21

Answer: B. 26 : 21

Explanation

Let the numerator and denominator be x and y. (x/y) = (16/21) 1.3∗16 Now, if the first number is increased by 30% and the second number is decreased by 20% then the ratio is 0.8∗21 208 Which equals 168 26 Which equals 21 Option B is the correct answer.
