Detailed Solution

The given ratios are 3:7 and 4: 9
We can write it in fraction form as,
3:7 =37
4:9=49
Now, the LCM of 7 and 9 is 63.
Therefore, multiplying and dividing 37 by 9 and 49 by 7, we get,
3×97×9=2763
4×79×7=2863
We know that,
28 > 27
2863>2763
49>37
4:9>3:7
Therefore 3:7 < 4:9.
Hence, the larger ratio is 4:9.
Hence option 2 is correct.
