The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the ratio of the weight Arun is carrying in his left hand to the weight in his right hand. ### Step 1: Identify the weights - Weight in the left hand = 40 grams - Weight in the right hand = 16 kg ### Step 2: Convert kilograms to grams Since the weights are in different units, we need to convert the weight in the right hand from kilograms to grams. - We know that 1 kg = 1000 grams. - Therefore, 16 kg = 16 × 1000 grams = 16000 grams. ### Step 3: Write the ratio Now we can write the ratio of the weight in the left hand to the weight in the right hand: - Ratio = Weight in left hand : Weight in right hand - Ratio = 40 grams : 16000 grams ### Step 4: Simplify the ratio To simplify the ratio, we can divide both sides by the smaller weight (40 grams): - Ratio = 40 grams / 40 : 16000 grams / 40 - Ratio = 1 : 400 ### Final Answer The ratio of the weight Arun is carrying in his left hand to the weight in his right hand is **1 : 400**. ---
