At the top of a mountain,a thermometer reads $7^{\circ}C$ and a barometer reads $70 \ cm-Hg$. At the base of the mountain,the thermometer reads $27^{\circ}C$ and the barometer reads $76 \ cm-Hg$. The ratio of the density of air at the top of the mountain to the density of air at the base is:

  • A
    $1.689$
  • B
    $0.598$
  • C
    $0.789$
  • D
    $0.986$
