Divide 586 by 451 approx there will be 1.3,
Then easily ratio will be 1/ 1.3 = 10:13.
Then easily ratio will be 1/ 1.3 = 10:13.

I think the simplest method to do this complicated division of 451/586 would be like this:-
Let's calculate 50%of 586 it would be 293.
Now, 10% of 586 is 58.6.
So add 10% to 293 thereby 60%of 586 is 293+58.6 = 351.6.
Now 70% of 586 would be 351.6 + 58.6 = 410.2.
So, it is confirmed that 451/586 is to be between 70% -80%.
Checking the options you would find only C to be 78%.
So, that is the right answer.

How to make calculations easy, the nearest number of 451 is 450 and the nearest 586 is 600.
So here we can divide 450/600=3/4 and we know that 3/4 is 0.75,
Here only 10/13 gives 0.76.
So here we can divide 450/600=3/4 and we know that 3/4 is 0.75,
Here only 10/13 gives 0.76.

Simple dont be complicate, take calc in phone put 451/586= 0.769 keep this value and divide all the options given;
Take option a) 4:7 means 4/7=0.571.
Option b) 10:13 means 10/13=0.769 this is the value we got.
So option B is correct.
This is called reverse Engineering
