Find the value of x:y, if `(8x-10y)/(3x+4y) = (4)/(5)`.

A

`55:29`

B

`36:17`

C

`33:14`

D

`16:11`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(8x - 10 y)/(3x + 4y) = (4)/(5)`
`rArr 40x - 50y = 12x + 16y`
`rArr 28x = 66y`
`rArr x:y = 66:28 = 33:14`
Hence, the correct option is (c).
