1)

If $x:y=3:4$, find $(4x+5y):(5x-2y)$.


A) $\frac{32}{7}$

B) $\frac{7}{42}$

C) $\frac{33}{2}$

D) $\frac{1}{12}$

E) $\frac{2}{7}$

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{3}$  $\Rightarrow \frac{4x+5y}{5x-2y}$

$\frac{4\frac{x}{y}+5}{5\frac{x}{y}-2} $

$=\frac{4\times\frac{3}{4} +5} {5\times\frac{3}{4} -2} $

$ = \frac{3+5}{\left(\frac{7}{4}\right)}$ $=\frac{32}{7}$
