If (a + b) : c = 7 : 9 , (b + c) : a = 13 : 3 , then (a + c) : b = ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
In these type of questions always note that the total amount/ratio must be same in all conditions.
⇒ (a + b) : c = 7 : 9 = 16 (total)
⇒ (b + c) : a = 13 : 3 = 16 (total)
total equal is already equal,
Therefore,
a = 3 , c = 9 & b = 16 -(3 + 9) = 4
Here,
⇒ (a + c) : b = 12 : 4 = 3 : 1
