Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Weight of an apple = twice of the weight of a lemon

Weight of an apple = 2(weight of a lemon)

x = 2y ------(1)

x = weight of an apple

y = weight of a lemon

Number of apples in a box = 16

Weight of the apple box (A) = 16x

Number of lemons in another box = 24

Weight of the lemon box (B) = 24y

Therefore,
(A)/(B)=(16x)/(24y)


(A)/(B)=(2x)/(3y)


(A)/(B)=(2(2y))/(3y) [From equation (1)]


(A)/(B)=(4y)/(3y)


(A)/(B)=(4)/(3)

Option A will be the correct option.
