Shyam collection contains Canada, Indian and British stamps. If the ratio of Canada to Indian stamps is 5 to 2 and the ratio of Indian to British stamps is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of Canada to British stamps?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Canada : Indian = 5 : 2
Indian : British = 5 : 1
The Indian stamps need to be made equal in both ratios.
Indian in the first ratio = 2
Indian in the second ratio = 5
Canada : Indian = 25 : 10
Indian : British = 10 : 2
Therefore, Canada : British = 25 : 2
