If P : Q : = 8 : 15 and Q : R = 3 : 2, then find P : Q : R

Correct Answer: 8 : 15 : 10

Explanation:

Given that, P : Q = 8 : 15, Q : R = 3 : 2
P : Q : R = (8 x 3) : (15 x 3) : (15 x 2) = 24 : 45 : 30
∴ P : Q : R = 8 : 15 : 10
Here, consequent of first ratio should be equal to the antecedent of second ratio.
