Solution
On the basis of given figure in which white, blue and purple squares are given.
∴ Purple = 12, Blue = 20 and White = 16
Total squares = 12 + 20 + 16 = 48
Statement I Purple: Total = 12 : 48 = 1 : 4
Statement II Blue: Total = 20 : 48 = 5 : 12
Statement III White: Total = 16 : 48 = 1 : 3
Statement IV Purple: Blue = 12 : 20 = 3 : 5
Statement V Purple: White = 12 : 16 = 3 : 4
