Question 22

State whether the given statement is true (T) or false (F).

5 kg : 7.5 kg = Rs. 7.50 : Rs. 5

Answer 1

Given, 5 kg : 7.5 kg = Rs. 7.50 : Rs. 5

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{7.5}=\frac{7.50}{5}$
Simplest form of $\frac{5}{7.5}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ [on multiplying numerator and denominator by 10 and then divide by 25 ]
Simplest form of $\frac{7.50}{5}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ [on multiplying numerator and denominator by 10 and then divide by 25]
Simplest form of both the ratios are not equal as $\frac{2}{3}\ne \frac{3}{2}$.

Hence, the given statement is false.
