    If (3x+2y):(3x−2y)=5:3(3x+2y):(3x-2y)= 5:3(3x+2y):(3x−2y)=5:3​ then find x:yx:yx:y.
    Question

    If (3x+2y):(3x2y)=5:3(3x+2y):(3x-2y)= 5:3​ then find x:yx:y.

    A.

    83\frac{8}{3}​​

    B.

    43\frac{4}{3}​​

    C.

    163\frac{16}{3}​​

    D.

    323\frac{32}{3}​​

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    3x+2y3x2y=53\frac{3x + 2y}{3x - 2y} = \frac{5}{3}

    Solution:
    (3x+2y)×3=(3x2y)×5(3x + 2y) \times 3 = (3x - 2y) \times 5

    9x + 6y = 15x - 10y

    9x - 15x = -10y - 6y

    -6x = -16y

    3x = 8y

    xy=83\frac{x}{y} = \frac{8}{3}

    x : y = 8 : 3
