Question:

If m : n = 5 : 4 then what is the value of (m2 + n2) : (m2 − n2) ?

Options:

16 : 9

25 : 9

32 : 5

41 : 9

Correct Answer:

41 : 9

Explanation:

If m : n = 5 : 4

then what is the value of (m2 + n2) : (m2 − n2) ?

Put the value of m and n in the required equation,

(m2 + n2) : (m2 − n2)

= (52 + 42) : (52 − 42)

= (25 + 16 ) : (25 - 16)

= 41  : 9
