a) 1\;:\;3
b) 3\;:\;1
c) 2\;:\;3
d) 3\;:\;2
correct answer is: a) 1\;:\;3
Explanation
Here, given ratio is 2\;:\;3,\;5\;:\;4,\;6\;:\;15\;.
Or, \large\frac{2}{3},\frac{5}{4},\frac{6}{15}
To find the compound ratio, we use the following method :
\rightarrow\frac{Multiple\ of\ all\ Numeretors}{Multiple\ of\ all\ Denominators}
\rightarrow\large\frac{2\times5\times6}{3\times4\times15}
\rightarrow\large\frac{1}{3}
So that, the compound ratio is 1\;:\;3\;.
Ans: 1\;:\;3\;.
