SSC GD Constable (English) - 12 Jan 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q49

If 3 : 5 = x : 75, then what is the value of x?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 45.

We are given with 3 : 5 = x : 75

We can write the ratio in the form:-

⇒ a : b = aba\over b

⇒ 3 : 5 = 3/5

Thus 

⇒ 353\over 5  = x75x\over 75

⇒ x = (75)(3)/(5)

⇒ x = 45

Thus, the value of x is 45.
