  • If x:y=5:3 then (8x-5y) : (8x+5y)=?
Question 1:
If x:y=5:3 then (8x-5y) : (8x+5y)=?
A. 5:13
B. 13:5
C. 5:11
Feedback x/y = 5/3 (Given)
(8x − 5y)/(8x + 5y)
8(x/y) − 5/8(x/y)+5
( on dividing Nr and Dr by y)
(8(5/3) − 5)/(8(5/3) + 5)
(40/3 − 5/1)/(40/3 + 5/1)
[(40 − 15)/3]/[(40 + 15)/3]
25/55 = 5/11
(8x-5y):(8x+5y) = 5:11
D. 11:5
