Question

The ratio of A to B is 4 : 5 and that of B to C is 2 ∶ 3. If A equals 800, then C equals:
1. 1200
2. 1500
3. 2000
4. 1000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1500

Given:

A = 800

A : B = 4 : 5, B : C = 2 : 3

Calculation:

[A : B = 4 : 5 ] ×2

[B : C = 2 : 3 ] × 5

⇒ A : B : C = 8 : 10 : 15

A = 800 = 8x

x = 100

⇒ C = 1500

∴  C equals 1500.
