Question

23. If a : b = 1:2;b: c = 4:3; c:d = 4:5 and e is 50%
more than d, find the ratio between a and e.
(A) 16:45 (B) 12:23 (C) 23:12 (D) 18:29​

Answer 1

a :e = 16:45

Step-by-step explanation:

50% = 1/2 => d : e = 2:3

a:b:c:d

=

1:2

4:3

4:5 = 16:32:24:30

d/e = 2/3 => 30/e = 2/3 => e = 45

a : e = 16:45

option (A) seems correct
