Correct Answer: 1.25


Solution : As per the given graph,
Let the exports and imports of company X in 2007 as $x$ and $y$.
$⇒x = 1.75y$
The imports of company X in 2007 were increased by 40%.
The new imports of company X in 2007 after the increase of 40% = $(1+\frac{40}{100})y=1.4y$
$\therefore$ The required ratio $=\frac{x}{1.4y}=\frac{1.75y}{1.4y}=1.25$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.25.
