Average production of company X in the period 1998-2000 = [\frac{1}{3} \times (25 + 50 + 40)] = (\frac{115}{3}) lakh tons.

Average production of company Y in the period 1998-2000 = [\frac{1}{3} \times (35 + 40 + 50)] = (\frac{125}{3}) lakh tons.

Required ratio = \frac{\frac{115}{3}}{\frac{125}{3}} = \frac{115}{125} = \frac{23}{25}

Average production (in lakh tons) in five years for the three companies are:

For Company X = [1/5 x (30 + 45 + 25 + 50 + 40) ] = 190/5 = 38.

For Company Y = [1/5 x (25 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 50) ] = 185/5 = 37.

For Company Z = [1/5 x (35 + 40 + 45 + 35 + 35) ] = 190/5 = 38.

Therefore, Average production of five years is maximum for both the Companies X and Z.
