Solution

The correct option is A 115
We have 2x2−6x+44x2−10x+3 = x2−3x2x2−5x .

If we multiply numerator and denominator of the RHS by 2, we will get
2x2−6x+44x2−10x+3 = 2x2−6x4x2−10x .

As per the theorem of equivalent ratio,
⟹ ab = cd = a−cb−d

Hence,
2x2−6x+44x2−10x+3 = 2x2−6x4x2−10x

= 2x2−6x+4−(2x2−6x)4x2−10x+3−(4x2−10x)
= 43

So we got the ratio equals to 43 and it is equal to the x2−3x2x2−5x.

Hence, x2−3x2x2−5x = 43

3x2−9x=8x2−20x
5x2−11x=0
x(5x−11)=0

x=0,115

x=115 as x≠0 (given)
