Correct Answer: Hence, Novel : Science: Business & Economics = 1 : 2 : 14
Explanation:
Given, Novel : Science = 1 : 2
Science : Business & Economics = 1 : 7
Now,$\frac{Novel}{Science} =\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{Novel}{\text{Science & Economics}} =\frac{1}{7}$
Novel : Science = 1 :2
Science : Economics & Business = 1 :7 = 2 : 14
Novel : Science: Business & Economics = 1 : 2 : 14
