?
If a : b = 2 : 3 and b : c = 4 : 5, find a2 : b2 : bc = ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& a:b = 2:3{\text{ and }}b:c = 4:5 \cr
& a{\text{ }}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ }}b{\text{ }}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ }}c \cr
& {2_{ \times \left( 4 \right)}}\,\,\,\,{\text{ }}{3_{ \times \left( 4 \right)}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{4_{ \times \left( 3 \right)}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ }}{5_{ \times \left( 3 \right)}} \cr
& \overline {\underline {\,\,8{\text{ }}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ }}12{\text{ }}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ }}15{\text{ }}\,\,{\text{ }}} } \cr
& \therefore {a^2}:{b^2}:bc \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( 8 \right)^2}:{\left( {12} \right)^2}:\left( {12 \times 15} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow 64:144:180 \cr
& \Rightarrow 16:36:45 \cr} $$
