Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{a}}:{\text{b}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{c}}:{\text{d}} \cr & 5:7\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2{\text{a}}:3{\text{b}} \cr & \frac{a}{b} = \frac{5}{7},\,\frac{c}{d} = \frac{{2a}}{{3b}} \cr & = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{7} \cr & = \frac{{10}}{{21}} \cr & \therefore ac:bd \cr & = \frac{{{\text{ac}}}}{{{\text{bd}}}} \cr & = \frac{5}{7} \times \frac{{10}}{{21}} \cr & = \frac{{50}}{{147}} \cr & = 50:147 \cr} $$
