What does a resolution of 16:10 ratio signify?

  1. 1600 x 1200 resolution

  2. 1920 x 1080 resolution

  3. 1920 x 1200 resolution

  4. 1280 x 720 resolution

The correct answer is: 1920 x 1200 resolution

A resolution of 1610 ratio signifies a certain proportion between width and height. This aspect ratio is commonly found in computer monitors and was popular for laptops for many years. Option A (1600 x 1200 resolution) and D ( 1280 x 720 resolution) both have a 4:3 ratio, which was commonly used for TV screens. Option B (1920 x 1080 resolution) has a 16:9 ratio, also known as the widescreen format. While this option may seem close in ratio, it is not a 16:10 ratio. Option C (1920 x 1200 resolution) is the correct answer as it has a 16:10 aspect ratio, which is the ratio that signifies this specific resolution.
