Let the weight of potatoes in the salad = 200 gms; then,
Weight of eggs in the salad is 100 gms.
Ratio of weight of potatoes to boiled eggs = 2 : 1
Ratio of weight of potatoes to boiled eggs = Double (Ratio of boiled eggs to green peas)
Doubling a ratio is the process of multiplying the first term of the ratio by 2, while keeping the second term the same.
Applying this to this question, we have,
2 : 1 = 2 (Ratio of Boiled eggs to green peas)
Therefore, Ratio of boiled eggs to green peas MUST BE 1 : 1.
The correct answer option is C.

I think the question is asking for ratio of potato to green peas and not egg to green peas. So the answer is 2:1 i guess
