If a,b,c,d are positive real numbers such that `(a)/(3) = (a+b)/(4)= (a+b+c)/(5) = (a+b+c+d)/(6)`, then `(a)/(b+2c+3d)` is:-

A

`1//2`

B

1

C

2

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation: \[ \frac{a}{3} = \frac{a+b}{4} = \frac{a+b+c}{5} = \frac{a+b+c+d}{6} = k \] where \( k \) is a positive real number. ### Step 1: Express \( a, b, c, d \) in terms of \( k \) From the first equation, we can express \( a \): \[ a = 3k \] From the second equation: \[ a + b = 4k \implies b = 4k - a = 4k - 3k = k \] From the third equation: \[ a + b + c = 5k \implies c = 5k - (a + b) = 5k - 4k = k \] From the fourth equation: \[ a + b + c + d = 6k \implies d = 6k - (a + b + c) = 6k - 5k = k \] ### Summary of Values Now we have: - \( a = 3k \) - \( b = k \) - \( c = k \) - \( d = k \) ### Step 2: Calculate \( b + 2c + 3d \) Now we need to calculate \( b + 2c + 3d \): \[ b + 2c + 3d = k + 2(k) + 3(k) = k + 2k + 3k = 6k \] ### Step 3: Find \( \frac{a}{b + 2c + 3d} \) Now we can substitute the values into the expression we need to find: \[ \frac{a}{b + 2c + 3d} = \frac{3k}{6k} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Expression Simplifying the fraction: \[ \frac{3k}{6k} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( \frac{a}{b + 2c + 3d} \) is: \[ \frac{1}{2} \] ---
