If x : y = 5 : 2, then the value of (8x + 9y) : (8x + 2y) is:1. 26 : 612. 61 : 263. 29 : 224. 29 : 21

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 29 : 22

Given:

x : y = 5 : 2.

Calculation:

Let the value of x and y be 5a and 2a respectively.

According to the question,

(8x + 9y) : (8x + 2y)

⇒ (8x + 9y)/(8x + 2y)

⇒ (8(5a) + 9(2a))/(8(5a) + 2(2a))

⇒ (40a + 18a)/(40a + 4a)

⇒ 58a/44a

⇒ 29/22.

∴ The value of (8x + 9y) : (8x + 2y) is 29 : 22.
