If (a + b) : c = 7 : 5, (b + c) : a = 9 : 3 , then (a + c) : b = ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
In these type of questions always note that the total amount/ratio must be same in all conditions.
⇒ (a + b) : c = 7 : 5 = 12 (total)
⇒ (b + c) : a = 9 : 3 = 12 (total)
total equal is already equal,
Therefore,
a = 3 , c = 5 & b = 12 -(3 + 5) = 4
Here,
⇒ (a + c) : b = 8 : 4 = 2 : 1
