If half of 5 were 3 that would one-third of 10 be a 5 b 4 c 3 d 2

EASY METHOD:
GIVEN:(1/2)*5=3;---->(1)
TO FIND:(1/3)*10;--->(2)
Solution:
From (1)=>(1/3)*5=2 [by cross multiply]--->(3)
(2)can be written as =>[((1/3)*5)*2]
=>[2*2] [From (3)]
=>4
Hence option (b) 4 is the answer..

half of 5 1/3 of 10
5:6 = 10:3y
15y=60
y=4

Ans:option (b)4
10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(5)
since 5/2=3
hence 10/3= (5/2)*4/3= 3*4/3=4
so ans is 4

given 5/2=3;
now we cn write 10/3=1/3*10=(1/3*1/2*5*2*2)=1/3*3*2*2
which give 4 as ans

if half 0f 5 is 3, then value of 10 will be 3x4=12
now 1/3 of 10 is 12/3=4
ans =4

5/2=3
5/3=2 den multiply with 2 on both sides
10/3=4

5/2 =3
10/3 =x
let 10=5*2/2
x=(5*2/2)/3
x=(3*2)/3
ans=2

(b)4
eq1--> 1/2(5)=3; 1/2(10/2)=3; 10/4=3; 10=12
subs in eq2
1/3(10)=1/3(12)=4

5=3
1=3/5
1/3=3/15
10*1/3=10*3/15=2

5/2=3,
10/3=?,
3=5/2 , so 10/5/2=4.

If half of 5 were 3, that would one-third of 10 be (a) 5 (b) 4 (c) 3 (d) 2
