Question:

If 2145 : x :: 3003 : 42, then the value of y so that x : 2508 :: y : 11704, is:

Options:

212

156

140

96

Correct Answer:

140

Explanation:

2145 : x :: 3003 : 42

= \(\frac{2145}{x}\)= \(\frac{3003}{42}\)

= x = 2145 × \(\frac{42}{3003}\)

x = 30

Now,

x : 2508 :: y : 11704

= 30 : 2508 :: y : 11704

= \(\frac{30}{2508}\)= \(\frac{y}{11704}\)

= y = \(\frac{30}{2508}\)× 11704

y = 140
