If a : b : c = : : , then : : = ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 9 : 8 : 24
a : b : c = : : this can be simplified by multiplying the number by LCM of 4,3 and 2.
a : b : c = : : × 12
a : b : c = 3 : 4 : 6.
a = 3x, b = 4x and c = 6x.
: : =3x/4x : 4x/6x : 6x/3x = 3/4 : 2/3 : 2 = 9 : 8 : 24.
