Observe the constant differences or averages across shops to simplify summation; sum 2021 total = 300+250+300+250=1100; 2023 total = 400+450+400+450=1700. Simplify the ratio 1100:1700 directly.
Sales of shops A, B, C, D in 2021 are A=300, B=250, C=300, D=250. Sales in 2023 are A=400, B=450, C=400, D=450.

Misreading the graph values or skipping one of the shops (A, B, C, or D) when calculating the total sum for the respective years.
Calculate Total Sales for 2021
Identify the values for 2021: Shop A=300, Shop B=250, Shop C=300, Shop D=250. Sum them up to get the total.
300+250+300+250=1100
Calculate Total Sales for 2023
Identify the values for 2023: Shop A=400, Shop B=450, Shop C=400, Shop D=450. Sum them up to get the total.
400+450+400+450=1700
Find the Ratio
Find the ratio of 2021 total to 2023 total by dividing both by their greatest common divisor, which is 100.

E is correct because the calculated ratio is 11:17, which is not present in the options provided (the official key provided 'A' as 35:43, but the graph data implies 11:17).
Always verify if the options provided in a competitive exam contain the calculated result; if not, re-read the graph coordinates as small visual shifts can change the sum significantly.
