If 2145 : x :: 3003 : 42, then the value of y so that x : 2508 :: y : 11704, is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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
