The ratio of \frac{A_{260}}{A_{280}}  indicates the purity of nucleic acid.For pure DNA it should lie between 1.8-2.0.Whereas for RNA it should be greater than 2.

This is calculated for DNA using the given values of absorbance-

\frac{A_{260}}{A_{280}}= 2.71

As the value is greater than 2.0,it reflects the RNA contamination in the sample.
