    Question

    If P : Q = 6 : 11, Q : R = 5 : 4, and R : S = 9 : 7, find P : Q : R : S.

    A.

    270 : 495 : 396 : 308

    B.

    6 : 11 : 4 : 7

    C.

    30 : 55 : 44 : 35

    D.

    270 : 396 : 495 : 308

    Correct option is A

    Given :

    P : Q = 6 : 11
    Q : R = 5 : 4
    R : S = 9 : 7

    Solution :

    From P : Q = 6 : 11

    From Q : R = 5 : 4

    LCM of 11 and 5 = 55

    So,
    P:Q = 6×5:11×5=30:556 \times 5 : 11 \times 5 = 30 : 55​​
    Q:R = 5×11:4×11=55:445 \times 11 : 4 \times 11 = 55 : 44​​

    Thus,
    P : Q : R = 30 : 55 : 44

    Match R with R : S = 9:7

    LCM of 44 and 9 = 396

    Multiply:
    P : Q : R =30×9:55×9:44×9= 30 \times 9 : 55 \times 9 : 44 \times 9​​
    = 270 : 495 : 396

    R : S = 9 ×44:7×44=396:308\times 44 : 7 \times 44 = 396 : 308​​
    Combine all

    P : Q : R : S = 270 : 495 : 396 : 308
