X = 25 + 50 + 40 = 115.
Y = 35 + 40 +50 = 125.
~ 115/125.
115/5 = 23.
125/5 = 25.
And the answer is 23:25.
Y = 35 + 40 +50 = 125.
~ 115/125.
115/5 = 23.
125/5 = 25.
And the answer is 23:25.

@Kamalpreet Kaur.
That's the cancellation with 5 table 5*23=115 and 5*25=125.

How this answer 23/25? because after average the answer is different.

Can anyone explain the step (115/3)/(125/3) = 23/25?

Why did they not calculate the average for fraction part?
(115/3) / (125/3).
(115/3) / (125/3).
