If \(\frac{{45}}{{53}} = \frac{1}{{a + \frac{1}{{b + \frac{1}{{c - \frac{2}{5}}}}}}},\) where a, b and c are positive integers, then what is the value of (4a - b + 3c)1. 62. 43. 74. 5 |

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 5 Calculations: \(\frac{{45}}{{53}} = \frac{1}{{a + \frac{1}{{b + \frac{1}{{c - \frac{2}{5}}}}}}}\) \( \) \(⇒ \frac{1}{{1\; + \;\frac{1}{{5\; + \;\frac{5}{8}}}}} = \frac{1}{{a\; +\; \frac{1}{{b\;+ \;\frac{1}{{c\; -\; \frac{2}{5}}}}}}}\) \(⇒ \frac{1}{{1\; + \;\frac{1}{{5\; + \;\frac{1}{{2 \;- \;\frac{2}{5}}}}}}} = \frac{1}{{a\; +\; \frac{1}{{b\;+ \;\frac{1}{{c\; -\; \frac{2}{5}}}}}}}\) Compare both the sides ⇒ a = 1, b = 5 and c = 2 Value of (4a – b + 3c) = 4 × 1 – 5 + 3 × 2 ⇒ 10 – 5 = 5 ∴ The value of 4a – b + 3c is 5 |
