Both x and y vary directly with each other and when x = 20, y = 28. Which of the following is not a possible pair of corresponding values?1. 25 ∶ 35 2. 35 ∶ 253. 35 ∶ 494. 15 ∶ 21

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 35 ∶ 25

Given:

Both x and y vary directly with each other and when x = 20, y = 28.

Concept Used:

Concept of ratio and proportion

Calculation:

Both x and y vary directly with each other and when x = 20, y = 28

That means x and y are directly proportional

The ratio of x and y is x : y = 20 : 28

⇒ x : y = 5 : 7

Now from the given options get,

25 : 35 ⇒ 5 : 7

35 : 25 ⇒ 7 : 5

35 : 49 ⇒ 5 : 7

15 : 21 ⇒ 5 : 7

Except the 2nd option all are in similar form that means our required answer is the 2nd option i.e. 35 : 25

∴ 35 : 25 is not a possible pair of corresponding values.
