Number of English newspapers \[=312216=96\] (a) Ratio of English newspapers to the numbers of Hindi newspapers \[=216:96=9:4\] [dividing by 24 in both ratios] Hence, the ratio of number of English newspapers to the numbers of Hindi newspapers is \[9:4\]. (b) Ratio of Hindi newspapers to the total number of newspapers \[=96:312=4:13\] [divided by 24 in both ratios] Hence, the ratio of number of Hindi newspapers to the total number of newspapers is \[4:13\].
