    If A : B = 7 : 5, B : C = 2 : 3, and C : D = 4 : 5, find the ratio A : D.
    Question

    If A : B = 7 : 5, B : C = 2 : 3, and C : D = 4 : 5, find the ratio A : D.

    A.

    14 : 25

    B.

    28 : 25

    C.

    56 : 75

    D.

    75 : 56

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    A : B = 7 : 5
    B : C = 2 : 3
    C : D = 4 : 5

    Solution:
    AB=75,BC=23,CD=45 \frac{A}{B} = \frac{7}{5}, \frac{B}{C} = \frac{2}{3}, \frac{C}{D} = \frac{4}{5} ​, then

    AD=AB×BC×CD AD=75×23×45 =7×2×45×3×5 =5675\frac{A}{D} = \frac{A}{B} \times \frac{B}{C} \times \frac{C}{D} \\ \ \\\frac{A}{D} = \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{5}\\ \ \\= \frac{7 \times 2\times 4}{5\times 3\times 5}\\ \ \\= \frac{56}{75}

    Thus,
    A : D = 56 : 75.
