Question

State whether the given statement is true (T) or false (F):
$15m:40m=35m:65m$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Given ratios are, $15m:40m$ and $35m:65m$

Here we have,

$15m:40m=\frac{15}{40}=\frac{15}{40}\times \frac{1.625}{1.625}=\frac{24.375}{65}$

and, $35m:65m=\frac{35}{65}$

$\therefore \frac{24.375}{65}\ne \frac{35}{65}\Rightarrow 15m:40m\ne 35m:65m$

Hence, the given statement is false.
