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
