Answer

23 : 30

Why?

Given: Total Fish Production during 2019 – 20 in all six states = 50,00,000 tonnes Total Fish Production during 2020 – 21 in all six states = 60,00,000 tonnes Calculation: The total fish production in Assam, Tamil Nadu and Kerala together during 2019- 20 = (18% + 16% + 12%) of 50,00,000 ⇒ 46% of 50,00,000 ⇒ 23,00,000 The total fish production in Kerala, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh together during 2020 – 21 = (14% + 16% + 20%) of 60,00,000 ⇒ 30,00,000 ∴ Required Ratio = 23,00,000 : 30,00,000 ⇒ 23 : 30
