The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((4m + 3n)/(4m - 3n) = 7/4\) using properties of proportion, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set up the equation:** \[ \frac{4m + 3n}{4m - 3n} = \frac{7}{4} \] 2. **Apply the Component and Dividendo Rule:** According to this rule, we can rewrite the left-hand side as: \[ \frac{(4m + 3n) + (4m - 3n)}{(4m + 3n) - (4m - 3n)} = \frac{7 + 4}{7 - 4} \] 3. **Simplify the numerator and denominator:** - The numerator becomes: \[ (4m + 3n) + (4m - 3n) = 4m + 3n + 4m - 3n = 8m \] - The denominator becomes: \[ (4m + 3n) - (4m - 3n) = 4m + 3n - 4m + 3n = 6n \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{8m}{6n} = \frac{11}{3} \] 4. **Set the two fractions equal:** \[ \frac{8m}{6n} = \frac{11}{3} \] 5. **Cross-multiply to solve for \(m/n\):** \[ 8m \cdot 3 = 11 \cdot 6n \] \[ 24m = 66n \] \[ \frac{m}{n} = \frac{66}{24} = \frac{11}{4} \] 6. **Express \(m:n\):** Therefore, we have: \[ m:n = 11:4 \] ### For the second part of the question: 7. **Substitute \(m/n\) into the expression:** We need to find: \[ \frac{2m^2 - 11n^2}{2m^2 + 11n^2} \] Divide the numerator and denominator by \(n^2\): \[ \frac{2\left(\frac{m}{n}\right)^2 - 11}{2\left(\frac{m}{n}\right)^2 + 11} \] 8. **Substituting \(\frac{m}{n} = \frac{11}{4}\):** \[ \frac{2\left(\frac{11}{4}\right)^2 - 11}{2\left(\frac{11}{4}\right)^2 + 11} \] Calculate \(\left(\frac{11}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{121}{16}\): \[ \frac{2 \cdot \frac{121}{16} - 11}{2 \cdot \frac{121}{16} + 11} \] 9. **Simplify the expression:** - The numerator: \[ 2 \cdot \frac{121}{16} - 11 = \frac{242}{16} - \frac{176}{16} = \frac{66}{16} \] - The denominator: \[ 2 \cdot \frac{121}{16} + 11 = \frac{242}{16} + \frac{176}{16} = \frac{418}{16} \] 10. **Final simplification:** \[ \frac{\frac{66}{16}}{\frac{418}{16}} = \frac{66}{418} = \frac{33}{209} \] ### Final Answers: (i) \(m:n = 11:4\) (ii) \(\frac{2m^2 - 11n^2}{2m^2 + 11n^2} = \frac{33}{209}\)
