Question

The ratio of two quantities is 4:5. If the consequent is 65 metres, find the antecedent.

• A. 47
• B. 50
• C. 52
• D. 60

Answer 1

The correct option is C

52

$\frac{Antecedent}{Consequent}=\frac{4}{5}$

Here the consequent is 65 .Thus,

$\frac{Antecedent}{Consequent}=\frac{4}{5}$

$\therefore Antecedent=\frac{Consequent\times 4}{5}$

$=\frac{65m\times 4}{5}=52m$
