Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct option is option 3 i.e. 5 : 6 : 15.

Given :

p : q = 5 : 6    ....(i)

q : r = 2 : 5     .....(ii)

Explanation :

Multiplying equation (ii) by 3

q : r = 6 : 15        ....(iii)

Now we have,

p : q : r = 5 : 6 : 15

Hence the required ratio of p : q : r = 5 : 6 : 15.
