Detailed Solution

 According to question, reaction can be written as

CaCO3+Na2CO3ΔCaO+CO2+Na2CO3

Here Na2CO3 did not decompose since it is thermally very stable and hence CaCO3 is the only one which burns and give out carbon dioxide. 

Now acc. to the reaction, 100g  gives 44g carbon dioxide

Hence using unitary method, 2.2g carbon dioxide can be produced by 5g CaCO3

Thus masses of CaCO3 and Na2CO3 5g and 5g respectively

Thus Mass Ratio= Mass of Na2CO3/Mass ofCaCO3

                             = 1:1

Hence option (A) is answer to the question.
