Question

If a : b = c : d = e : f = 2 : 3, then (xa + yc +ze) : (xb + yd + zf) = __________.

A.

6 : 5

B.

2 : 3

C.

​3 : 2​​

D.

5 : 6

Correct option is B

Given:

a : b = c : d = e : f = 2 : 3
Solution:
Given the relations ab=23,cd=23,andef=23,\frac{a}{b} = \frac{2}{3}, \frac{c}{d} = \frac{2}{3}, and \frac{e}{f} = \frac{2}{3},​​
a = 23b,c=23d,e=23f\frac{2}{3}b, \quad c = \frac{2}{3}d, \quad e = \frac{2}{3}f​​
Now, substitute these expressions into the given ratio:
xa+yc+zexb+yd+zf=x×23b+y×23d+z×23fx×b+y×d+z×f\frac{xa + yc + ze}{xb + yd + zf} = \frac{x \times \frac{2}{3}b + y \times \frac{2}{3}d + z \times \frac{2}{3}f}{x \times b + y \times d + z \times f}​​

23(xb+yd+zf)xb+yd+zf\frac{\frac{2}{3} (xb + yd + zf)}{xb + yd + zf}​​
23 \frac{2}{3}​​
So, the ratio is 2 : 3.

Thus the correct option is(b) 2:3
