State whether the given statement are true (T) or false (F).5kg : 7.5

1.	State whether the given statement are true (T) or false (F).5kg : 7.5kg = Rs 7.50 : Rs 5
Answer» False. Consider the two ratios 5kg: 7.5kg = Rs 7.50: Rs 5 5/7.5 = 7.50/5 50/75 = 75/50 50/75 is further simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 25 we get, = 2/3 75/50 is further simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2 we get, = 3/2 Hence, 2/3 ≠ 3/2 Therefore, 5kg: 7.5kg ≠ Rs 7.50: Rs 5

State whether the given statement are true (T) or false (F).5kg : 7.5kg = Rs 7.50 : Rs 5

Answer»

False.

Consider the two ratios 5kg: 7.5kg = Rs 7.50: Rs 5

5/7.5 = 7.50/5

50/75 = 75/50

50/75 is further simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 25 we get,

= 2/3

75/50 is further simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2 we get,

= 3/2

Hence, 2/3 ≠ 3/2

Therefore, 5kg: 7.5kg ≠ Rs 7.50: Rs 5
