If a ∶ b = 2 ∶ 3 and b ∶ c = 6 ∶ 8, then find a ∶ b ∶ c.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 2 ∶ 3 ∶ 4.
Given:
a ∶ b = 2 ∶ 3
b ∶ c = 6 ∶ 8
Explanation:
According to the given question,
a ∶ b = 2 ∶ 3
b ∶ c = 6 ∶ 8
⇒ a : b : c = 4 : 6 : 8
⇒ a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 4
Hence the required answer is 2 : 3 : 4.
