Detailed Solution

Concept- First, let's assume they say that x is the production of peanuts last season and this year's production will produce the same

peanuts. Therefore, this year's production will be

times higher. You need to find the production ratio of last season compared to this season. This is equal to

.
As mentioned in the question, farmers produce

times as many peanuts as they produced last year.

Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions. Let's take a look at x. Last season's peanut production.
Therefore, the question states that he will produce

times more this season.
So if last year's production was x, this year's production would be 85x. Here you need to find the ratio of production last season compared to this season. This is equal to

Last year's production = x This year's production =

Therefore, x is common to both the numerator and denominator and is canceled.

Now 5 is transferred to the counter like

and the solution is

. Therefore, the ratio of last season's production to this season's production is

, or

.
Hence, the correct answer is option (3)
