    If x :y=3 :4, (4x+3y):(4y-4x)= ?
    Question

    If x :y=3 :4, (4x+3y):(4y-4x)= ?

    A.

    2 : 3

    B.

    6 : 1

    C.

    1 : 6

    D.

    3 : 2

    Correct option is B

    Solution:

    We are given that x : y = 3 : 4

    which implies that xy=34\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{4}​ .

    Let’s express x in terms of y :

    x =34y \frac{3}{4}y​​

    Now substitute this value of x into the given expression for the ratio

    4x+3y4y4x\frac{4x + 3y}{4y - 4x}​​

    4x+3y4y4x=4(34y)+3y4y4(34y)\frac{4x + 3y}{4y - 4x} = \frac{4\left( \frac{3}{4}y \right) + 3y}{4y - 4\left( \frac{3}{4}y \right)}​​

    Simplifying both the numerator and denominator:

    Numerator:

    4(34y)+3y=3y+3y=6y4\left( \frac{3}{4}y \right) + 3y = 3y + 3y = 6y​​

    Denominator:

    4y4(34y)=4y3y=y4y - 4\left( \frac{3}{4}y \right) = 4y - 3y = y​​

    Thus, the ratio becomes:

    6yy=6\frac{6y}{y} = 6:1​

    Therefore, the value of 4x+3y4y4x\frac{4x + 3y}{4y - 4x}​ is 6:1.
