B Correct answer
Explanation

Total I-phones = 1104 (P) + 705 (Q) = 1809. Samsung phones at Q = 603. Ratio = 1809 : 603. Since 603 * 3 = 1809, the ratio is 3 : 1.

AI explanation

The total number of I-phones sold by both outlets is the sum of the I-phones sold by P and Q, which is 1104 plus 705, equaling 1809. The total number of Samsung phones sold by outlet Q is given as 603. The ratio of these two quantities is 1809 to 603; dividing both numbers by 603 simplifies the ratio to 3 to 1.
