In context to the question it is asked to find whether 4:16 =20:35

for this question we need to simplify the values

let us assume

LHS=4:16

$\frac{4}{16} \\=\frac{1}{4}$

we can write as 1:4

RHS=20:35

$\frac{20}{35} \\=\frac{4}{7}$

we can write as4:7

hence

4:16=1:4

20:35 =4:7

  ∵ 1:4 ≠ 4:7

∴ 4:16 ≠ 20:35

4:16 is not equal to 20:35
