Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Step 1: Identify 'ratio averages'.** In statistics, the terms are: - **Positional averages**: Median, Mode, Quartiles, Deciles, Percentiles - **Mathematical averages**: AM, GM, HM - **Ratio averages**: GM and HM are sometimes called ratio averages because: - **GM** is used when observations represent ratios or rates of growth. - **HM** is used when data consists of rates (like speed = distance/time). **Step 2: Conclusion.** GM and HM are called **ratio averages** because they are suitable for averaging ratios and rates. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
