A : B = 1/4 : 1/5 and B : C = 1/8 : 1/7. Find (4A + 2B + 2C) / (3B + C).
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D.
1. A:B = 5:4 (cross-multiply). B:C = 7:8.
2. Common B: 4 and 7. LCM = 28. So A=35, B=28, C=32.
3. Numerator: 4·35 + 2·28 + 2·32 = 140 + 56 + 64 = 260.
4. Denominator: 3·28 + 32 = 84 + 32 = 116. Result = 260/116 = 65/29.
5. The reciprocal of 29/65 = 65/29. Re-check problem: stated value matches 65/29 closely. Wait, recompute: with A=35, B=28, C=32, the value 260/116 simplifies to 65/29. So D.
