Let a, b, c, d, and e be integers such that a : b : c = 6 : 2 : 1, and b : d : e = 8 : 4 : 3. Then which of the following pairs contains a number that is not an integer?
Explanation:
We are given a : b : c = 6 : 2 : 1 …..(1), and
b : d : e = 8 : 4 : 3. …..(2)
Combined ratio, a : b : c : d : e = 24 : 8 : 4 : 4 : 3
Go with the options.
Let`s take option (e)
By multiplying both c/e = 4/3 ……not an integer.
Hence, option (e).
