If a : b = 3 : 2, b : c = 1 / 4 : 1 / 5, c : d = 1.5 : 3.5, then what is a : d?1. 45 : 562. 15 : 143. 15 : 224. 45 : 67

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 45 : 56

Given:

a : b = 3 : 2

 b : c = 1 / 4 : 1 / 5

 c : d = 1.5 : 3.5

Calculation:

a : b = 3 : 2      ----(1)

b : c = 1 / 4 : 1 / 5 

⇒ b ∶ c = 5 ∶ 4      ----(2)

c : d = 1.5 : 3.5

⇒ c : d = 3/2 : 7/2 = 3 ∶ 7      ----(3)

Let us make the value of c equal in (2) and (3),

(3) × 4 and (2) × 3 and combining both,

b ∶ c ∶ d = 15 ∶ 12 ∶ 28      ----(4)

Let us make the value of b equal in (1) and (4),

(1) × 15/2 and (4) and combining,

a ∶ b ∶ c ∶ d = 3 × 15/2 ∶ 2 × 15/2 ∶ 12 ∶ 28

⇒ a ∶ b ∶ c ∶ d = 45/2 ∶ 15 ∶ 12 ∶ 28

So, a ∶ d = 45/2 ∶ 28 

⇒ a ∶ d = 45 ∶ 56

∴ The value of a ∶ d is 45 ∶ 56.
