Question

If A : B = 3 : 5 and B : C = 4 : 7, then the value of A : B : C is:

A.

12 : 35 : 20

B.

3 : 5 : 7

C.

20 : 12 : 5

D.

12 : 20 : 35

Correct option is D

Given:

A:B=3:5A : B = 3 : 5B=5

B:C=4:7B : C = 4 : 7C=7

Solution:

From A:B=3:5A : B = 3 : 55, we know that B=5B = 55.

From B:C=4:7B : C = 4 : 74  :7, we know that B=4B = 44.

To make these equal, we multiply the first ratio A:B=3:5A : B = 3 : 55 by 4, and the second ratio B:C=4:7B : C = 4 : 77 by 5.

A : B = 3×4 : 5×4 = 12 : 20 

B : C = 4×5 : 7×5 = 20 : 35

Now, we have:

A : B = 12 : 20  and  B : C = 20 : 35

Combined ratio: B=20B = 20 ratio:

A : B : C = 12 : 20 : 35​

Thus, the value of A : B : C = 12 : 20 : 35 .
