Fractions and Decimals
There are two fractions such that fraction X is thrice the fraction Y and their product is 25/12. Which of the following is equal to Y?
Let X and Y are given fractions.Given that, fraction X is thrice the fraction Y;i.e., X = 3Y ...(1)And their product = X x Y = 25/12Sub. eqn (1) in above,(3Y)x(Y) = 25/123(Y²) = 25/12(Y²) = 25/36Y = 5/6Hence the required fraction is 5/6.
Let the number be X Decreasing 2 from XX - 2 = 80 x (1/X)X^2 - 2X = 80X^2 -2x -80 = 0(X-10)(X+8) = 0x=10,-8X has two values, but among the given options X value should be 10
