Ratio & Proportion Mcqs


Q.  Three quantities X, Y and Z are such that XY=kZ where k is constant. Initially, X was at 4 and X:Y:Z was 2:3:4. If the value of Y is changed to 12 and Z is kept constant, find the value of X.

a. 2
b. 3
c. 5
d. 6


ANSWER: See Answer
 
X:Y:Z=2:3:4
X=4
Then, Y=6, Z=8 XY=kZ 4*6=k*8 8k=24 k=3
Y=12, Z=8
X*12=3*8
X=2
