Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

C

3:2

For dividing 12 into two whole numbers, the sum of the ratios must be a factor of 12. So they cannot be in the ratio 3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

(I think there is some mistake in Question )

A box containing 75 toys fell on the floor and some toys broke, the ratio of the broke toys and the unbroken toys can't be​;

Let the ratio of broken vs unbroken toys be  x : y ,then no of broken toys and unbroken will be kx and ky for some k. Given that total no. of toys as 75, we have

⇒ 75 =  k (x+y)

This mean that sum of x and y must divide 75. if we take 5:7 then 5+7 = 12 doesn't divide 75.

So, if a box containing 75 toys fell on the floor and some toys broke, the ratio of the broke toys and the unbroken toys can't be​ 5:7.
