c) 2:1
x, y be numbers taking y to be smaller
x-y/2 , y-y/2=y/2
x-y/2=3y/2
2x=4y
x:y=2:1

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (12) | No   

Biswajit Das  (14 years ago)

le x and y are two numbers, where x>y
so according to condition,

x-(y/2)=3(y-(y/2))
or, x=3y/2+y/2=2y
or, x/y=2
or, x:y=2:1

option (d) is correct

Let x and 2y be two numbers. x > 2y

Half of smaller number = y

Numbers obtained when half of smaller number is subtracted:

(x - y) and (2y - y) or (x - y) and (y)

The larger one is three times as large as smaller one.

x - y = 3y

x = 4y

x/2y = 2/1

The correct option is D
