Solution

The correct option is D 55
We get equivalent fractions when we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Here 1117 and a85 are equivalent fractions.

To get 85 we will multiply 17 by 5, hence to get 'a' we will also multiply 11 by 5.

11×517×5 = 5585

On comapring a85 and 5585


Therefore a = 55
