This is a problem of Cyclic expression, in which it's considered
a/x = b/y = c/z = k ……….(1) ( which can be proved)
=> a = kx => a² = k² x²
b = ky => b² = k²y²
c = kz => c² = k²z²
=> a²+b²+c²= k²x² + k²y²+ k²z²
=> a²+b²+ c² = k²( x²+ y²+z²)
=> (a²+b²+ c²)/(x²+ y²+ z²) = k²
Hence, 16/25 = k²
=> k = 4/5, -4/5. But since ratios are always positive. So k= -4/5 is ruled out.
So, a/x + b/y + c/z = 4/5 …. by eq (1)
=> 5a = 4x
5b = 4y
5c = 4z
=> 5a + 5b + 5c = 4x + 4y + 4z
=> 5( a+b+ c) = 4( x+ y+ z)
=> (a+b+ c) / ( x+ y+ z) = 4/5
