At a game of billiards, A can give B 15 points in 60 and A can give C to 20 points in 60. How many points can B give C in a game of 90?

A. 30 points

B. 20 points

C. 10 points

D. 12 points

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & A:B = 60:45 \cr & A:C = 60:40 \cr & \therefore \frac{B}{C} = {\frac{B}{A} \times \frac{A}{C}} = {\frac{{45}}{{60}} \times \frac{{60}}{{40}}} \cr & = \frac{{45}}{{40}} = \frac{{90}}{{80}} = 90:80 \cr & \therefore {\text{B}}\,{\text{can}}\,{\text{give}}\,{\text{C}}\,{\text{10}}\,{\text{points}}\,{\text{in}}\,{\text{a}}\,{\text{game}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{90}} \cr} $$
