If a : (b + c) = 3 : 5 and b : (c + a) = 9 : 11, then c : (a + 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) = 3 : 5 = 8(total)
⇒ B : (C + A) = 9 : 11 = 20 (total)
make the total equal,
⇒ A : (B + C) = 15 : 25 = 40 (total)
⇒ B : (A + C) = 18 : 22 = 40 (total)
Therefore,
A = 15, B = 18 & C = 40 -(15 +18) =7
A : B : C
15 : 18 : 7 = 40
Here,
⇒ C : (A + B) = 7 : 33
