Explanation:

Number of laptops sold at some profit in 2012 = 9600 + 320 + 64 = 9984

Number of laptops sold at loss in 2012 = 1920 + 480 + 16 = 2416

Ratio = 9984: 2416 = 4.13

Number of laptops sold at some profit in 2013 = 10920 + 1560 + 320 = 12800

Number of laptops sold at loss in 2013 = 2240 + 840 + 120 = 3200

Ratio = 12800: 3200 = 4

Number of laptops sold at some profit in 2014 = 12750 + 3750 + 900 = 17400

Number of laptops sold at loss in 2014 = 3060 + 1190 + 350 = 4600

Ratio = 17400: 4600 = 3.78

Number of laptops sold at some profit in 2015 = 22560

Number of laptops sold at loss in 2015 = 5440

Ratio = 22560: 5440 = 4.15

Number of laptops sold at some profit in 2016 = 27500

Number of laptops sold at loss in 2016 = 5500

Ratio = 27500: 5500 = 5

Therefore, the ratio of number of laptops sold at some profit to the ratio of number of laptops sold at loss by the two companies together, was minimum in 2014

So option (3) is the correct answer.
