If a ∶ b = 2 ∶ 3, then what is the value of (b2 + 2a2) ∶ (b2 - 2a2)?
If a ∶ b = 2 ∶ 3, then what is the value of (b2 + 2a2) ∶ (b2 - 2a2)? Correct Answer 17 ∶ 1
Given;
a : b = 2 : 3
Concept:
If a : b = x : y then,
a = bx/y
Calculation:
⇒ a : b = 2 : 3
⇒ a = 2b/3
⇒ (b2 + 2a2) ∶ (b2 - 2a2)
⇒ {b2 + 2 × (2b/3)2} : {b2 - 2 × (2b/3)2}
⇒ (9b2 + 8b2)/9 : (9b2 - 8b2)/9
⇒ 17b2/b2 = 17/1 = 17 : 1
∴ The required result will be 17 : 1.
