Detailed Solution

We have to check if 33:333 equals 3:33 or not.
We will write the given ratios in fractions and then try to cancel out the largest common multiple in the fraction.
So,
33 333 = 11×3 111×3  
33 333 = 11 111  
Thus, 33:333=11:111.
Hence, the given statement is false and option 2 is correct.
Therefore, 33:333 does not equal 3:33.
