Question

Find the ratio of (4x - 5y) and (5x + 2y), if (2x - y): (2x + 4y) = 1:4?
a.3/26
b.7/17
c.1/26
d.21/7​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/26

Step-by-step explanation:

given, (2x-y)/(2x+4y)=1/4

simplifying this, 8x-4y=2x+4y

=>6x=8y  =>x/y=8/6=4/3

Now, (4x-5y)/(5x+2y)

Dividing x in both numerator and denominator we get,

=(4x/y-5)/(5x/y+2), now put x/y=4/3

then you get the answer as 1/26
