SSC MTS - 21 July 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q63

If P = (5/6)Q and Q = (4/5)R, what is 2P : 3Q : 4R?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 5 : 9 : 15.

Given:

P = (5/6)Q and Q = (4/5)R

Calculations:

⇒ P : Q = 5 : 6           ----- (1)

⇒ Q : R = 4 : 5           ----- (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3

⇒ P : Q : R = 10 : 12 : 15

Now, the value of 2P : 3Q : 4R = 20 : 36 : 60

⇒ 5 : 9 : 15
