If a: b :: 3 : 7, then what is (5a+6b): (a-2b)?
Option
(a) 57:11
(b) -57:11
(c) 11 : 10
(d) -11 : 10
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- (b)-57:11
a/b= 3/7
Dividing numerator & denominator of ' (5a+6b)/(a-2b) 'by b,
[5(a/b)+6]/[(a/b)-2]= [5*(3/7)+6]/[(3/7)-2]= -57/11 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(21) No(1)
- a:b=3:7
then a =3k and b=7k k is arbitary constant
then (5a+6b):(a-2b)=(15+42)k:(3-14)k
=>-57:11 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(0)
- 7a=3b
(5a+6b):(a-2b)
(5a+14a):(a-14a/3)
19a:(-11a/3)

- a=3,b=7 substitute in the equation then we get the (15+42):(3-14) =-57:11

- a=3b/7
b= 7a/3
substituting,
5(3b/7)+6b = 57b/7
3b/7 - 2b = -11b/7
puting the values in ratio :-
ans -> -57/11 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- a//b=3/7
(5a/b +6)/(a/b)-2
-57/11
ans is b - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
