Question 78

$$ab : bc : ca = 3 : 1 : 2 \Rightarrow \frac{a}{bc} : \frac{b}{ca} =$$

Solution

Shortcut

$$ab : bc : ca = 3 : 1 : 2$$

c = 2 a = 6 b = 3

$$\frac{a}{bc} : \frac{b}{ca}$$

$$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{6} : \frac{3}{12}$$

$$1 : \frac{1}{4}$$

$$\Rightarrow 4 : 1$$

Explanation:

$$ab : bc :ca = 3 : 1 : 2$$

$$\Rightarrow  \frac{1}{c} : \frac{1}{a} : \frac{1}{b} = 3 : 1 : 2$$

$$c = \frac{k}{3}, a = k, b = \frac{k}{2}$$

Ratio $$c = 2k, a = 6k, b = 3k$$

$$\frac{a}{bc} : \frac{b}{ca}$$

$$\frac{6}{6} : \frac{3}{12}$$

4 : 1

Hence the answer is option B
