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
