Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e 140
Here we would be finding the value of the unknown by the ratio and proportion.
⇒ 2145 : X ∷ 3003 : 42
⇒ 2145 / X = 3003 / 42
⇒ X = (2145 × 42) / 3003
⇒ X = 30
⇒ 30 : 2508 ∷ Y : 11704
⇒ 30 / 2508 = Y / 11704
⇒ Y = (11704 × 30) / 2508
⇒ Y = 140
