If we were to solve this question with our trick, we should observe if one of conditions include ratio. If one of conditions contains ratio, then the condition with ratio has 90% of chance to become the answer. Since the condition 1) has ratio, the correct answer is A.

- Forget conventional ways of solving math questions. In DS, Variable approach is the easiest and quickest way to find the answer without actually solving the problem. Remember equal number of variables and independent equations ensures a solution.
