The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we will break it down into three parts as specified in the question. Let's go through each part step by step. ### Part (i) We need to find the value of `x` such that: \[ (2x + 3) : (5x - 38) \text{ is the duplicate ratio of } \sqrt{5} : \sqrt{6} \] 1. **Identify the duplicate ratio**: The duplicate ratio of \( \sqrt{a} : \sqrt{b} \) is given by \( a : b \). Therefore, the duplicate ratio of \( \sqrt{5} : \sqrt{6} \) is: \[ 5 : 6 \] 2. **Set up the equation**: According to the problem, we can write: \[ \frac{2x + 3}{5x - 38} = \frac{5}{6} \] 3. **Cross-multiply**: \[ 6(2x + 3) = 5(5x - 38) \] 4. **Expand both sides**: \[ 12x + 18 = 25x - 190 \] 5. **Rearrange the equation**: \[ 12x - 25x = -190 - 18 \] \[ -13x = -208 \] 6. **Solve for x**: \[ x = \frac{208}{13} = 16 \] ### Part (ii) Now, we need to find the value of `x` such that: \[ (2x + 1) : (3x + 13) \text{ is the sub-duplicate ratio of } 9 : 25 \] 1. **Identify the sub-duplicate ratio**: The sub-duplicate ratio of \( a : b \) is given by \( \sqrt{a} : \sqrt{b} \). Therefore, the sub-duplicate ratio of \( 9 : 25 \) is: \[ \sqrt{9} : \sqrt{25} = 3 : 5 \] 2. **Set up the equation**: \[ \frac{2x + 1}{3x + 13} = \frac{3}{5} \] 3. **Cross-multiply**: \[ 5(2x + 1) = 3(3x + 13) \] 4. **Expand both sides**: \[ 10x + 5 = 9x + 39 \] 5. **Rearrange the equation**: \[ 10x - 9x = 39 - 5 \] \[ x = 34 \] ### Part (iii) Finally, we need to find the value of `x` such that: \[ (3x - 7) : (4x + 3) \text{ is the sub-triplicate ratio of } 8 : 27 \] 1. **Identify the sub-triplicate ratio**: The sub-triplicate ratio of \( a : b \) is given by \( \sqrt[3]{a} : \sqrt[3]{b} \). Therefore, the sub-triplicate ratio of \( 8 : 27 \) is: \[ \sqrt[3]{8} : \sqrt[3]{27} = 2 : 3 \] 2. **Set up the equation**: \[ \frac{3x - 7}{4x + 3} = \frac{2}{3} \] 3. **Cross-multiply**: \[ 3(3x - 7) = 2(4x + 3) \] 4. **Expand both sides**: \[ 9x - 21 = 8x + 6 \] 5. **Rearrange the equation**: \[ 9x - 8x = 6 + 21 \] \[ x = 27 \] ### Final Answers - Part (i): \( x = 16 \) - Part (ii): \( x = 34 \) - Part (iii): \( x = 27 \)
