Question

The ratio between two quantity is 5:14 . If the first quantity is 35 find the second quantity ---
(1) 84
(2)98
(3)89
(4)48​

Answer 1

Answer:

(2) 98.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratios be 5x and 14x

Given, 5x = 35

Solve for x

x = 35/5

x = 7

Substitute x value for second ratio

14x = 14(7) = 98

Answer 2

Let the quantities are 5x and 14x.

According to condition,

5x = 35

or, x = 35/5

or, x = 7

So, the second quantity = 14x = 14 × 7 = 98.

OR

Let the second quantity be x.

According to condition,

5:14 = 35:x

or, 5/14 = 35/x

or, 5x = 35 × 14

or, 5x = 490

or, x = 490/5

or, x = 98.

Hence, the second quantity is (2) 98.
