Explanation / Answer

If we see the table given in the question then we can analyse that:

For Chris 1 pound of tomatoes is equivalent to = 300/10 = 30 jars of pasta sauce, similarly

For Tony 1 pound of tomatoes is equivalent to = 280/14 = 20 jara of pasta sauce

Therfore in order for a trade to become profitable for both Chris and Tony, 1 pound of pasta should give them more than 30 jars of pasta sauce and in the options given in the question only option A. that is 1 lb of tomatoes for 33 jars of pasta sauce fulfilling that criteria and hence option “A” is correct.
