-
- if x/2y = 3/2
2x=6y ==> x=3y
so the problem becomes
7(3y)+4y / 3y-2y
By solving this, we will get answer 25. - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(32) No(1)
- (E) None of these...
correct ans is 25..
Let x=3 and y=1
put it in x/2y =3/(2*1)=3/2
which satisfy the given condition..
Now,we put the value of x & y in (7x+4y)/(x-2y) which is equal to 25 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(2)
- x/2y=3/2
i.e. x=3y
Substituting the value x=3y in the above equation, we get
(7(3y)+4y)/(3y-y)=25 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- divide by 2y up and down side
(7(x/2y)+2)/(x/2y-1)
nowput the value of x/2y=3/2
(7*3/2+2)/(3/2-1)
=25 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- x/y=3.
then (7*3+4)/(3-2)=25 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- ans is 7
multiply 1/2y into both num and denominator
(1/2y)*(7x+4y)/(1/2y)*(x-2y)
put the value of x/2y=3/2
i.e we get 7 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- if x/2y = 3/2
then x = (3 x 2y) / 2
x = 6y/2
x=3y
then
putting value of x in our eq
==> (7 x 3y + 4y) / (3y-2y)
==> (21y+4y) /y
==> 25y/y
==> 25

- x/y=3
y(7*x/y+4)/y(x/y-2)=(7*3+4)/3-2=25 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
