Step-by-step explanation:
No, 3 / 4 = 0.75
and 4 / 3 = 1.something
so they cant be same
and in the following question :
option B should be correct
why ?
lets understand this case wise :
(a) age of father : age of son
Its general knowledge that age of father will be more ; but the ratio comes out to be 1/3 which depict that age of son will be 3 times greater that father which is practically impossible
(c) here elephant : mouse = 2 : 1
which depeCt that wt. of elephant is twice the mouse but both these animals should have great wt. difference .
( b ) here the 1 : 4 depict that height of bus is 4 times that of car
and this case is possible
hope it help
