Find the ratio equivalent to 7 : 2 from the following.

• A. 63 : 18
• B. 56 : 14
• C. 49 : 12
• D. 77 : 33

Answer 1

The correct option is A 63 : 18

Given ratio = 7 : 2

Reducing each ratio to its lowest term we get,

(i) 63: 18 = $\frac{63}{18}=\frac{7}{2}=7:2$
(ii) 56: 14 = $\frac{56}{14}=\frac{4}{1}=4:1$
(iii) 49: 12 = $\frac{49}{12}=49:12$
(iv) 77: 33 = $\frac{77}{33}=\frac{7}{3}=7:3$

Hence 63 : 18 is equivalent to 7 : 2.
