- Option 4 15:16
Let the leap of dog is x and leap of cat is y
then 3x=4y and 5y=4x
y=4x/5
solving this we get 15:16 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(6)
- y=4*4y/3*5

then 3x=4y and 5y=4x
y=4x/5
solving this we get 15:16
how we can solve here?

y=4*4y/3*5

same here? How could we solve this? - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 4 leaps of cat = 3 leaps of dog
⇒ 1 leap of cat = 3/4 leap of dog
Cat takes 5 leaps for every 4 leaps of dog.
So the required ratio is (5× Cat′s leap) : (4 X Dog's leap)
= (5 × 3/4 dog′s leap) : (4 X Dog's leap)
= 15 : 16 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
