Correct Answer: 1 : 3 : 6
Explanation:
Let A = x
Then B = 3x, C = 2B = 6x
&there4 A : B : C = x : 3x : 6x = 1 : 3 : 6
Correct Answer: 16 : 35
Explanation:
? A/D = (A/B) x (B/C) x (C/D) = (2/3) x (4/5) x (6/7) = 16/35
? A : D = 16 : 35
Correct Answer: 6 : 4 : 3
Explanation:
Let 2A = 3B = 4C = x
Then A = x/2, B = x/3 and C = x/4
? A : B : C = x/2 : x/3 : x/4
Hence A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3
Correct Answer: 15 : 8
Explanation:
? 2A = 3B and 4B = 5C
? 8A = 12B and 12B = 15C
? 8A = 12B = 15C = x
? A = x/8, B = x/12, C = x/15
So, A : C = x/8 : x/15 = 15 : 8
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
? a / b = 2/3 and 2 / a = 1/2
? a/b x 2/a = 2/3 x 1/2
? 2/b = 1/3
? b = 6
Correct Answer: 7 : 9 : 15
Explanation:
A : B = 7
and B : C = 3 : 5 = 9 : 15
? A : B : C = 7 : 9 : 15
Correct Answer: 3 : 20
Explanation:
0.6 x a = 0.09 x b
? a/b = 0.09 / 0.06 = 9 / 60 = 3 / 20 = 3 : 20
Correct Answer: 2 : 1
Explanation:
10% of A = 20% of B
? 10/100 x A = 20/100 x B
? A/10 = B/5
? A/B = 10/5 = 2
Hence, A : B = 2 : 1
Correct Answer: 15 : 8
Explanation:
A/B = 2/3 and B/C = 4/5
? A/C = (A/B) x (B/C) = (2/3) x (4/5) = (8/15)
So, C : A = 15 : 8
Correct Answer: 65 kg
Explanation:
? 20 kg of brass contains zinc = 13 kg
? 100 kg of brass contains zinc = (13/20) x 100 kg. = 65 kg.
