The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(d\) based on the given ratios \(a+b+c : b+c+d : c+d+a : d+a+b = 6:7:8:9\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set Up the Equations:** Let: - \(a + b + c = 6k\) - \(b + c + d = 7k\) - \(c + d + a = 8k\) - \(d + a + b = 9k\) Here, \(k\) is a common multiplier. 2. **Add All Equations:** Adding all four equations: \[ (a+b+c) + (b+c+d) + (c+d+a) + (d+a+b) = 6k + 7k + 8k + 9k \] This simplifies to: \[ 3a + 3b + 3c + 3d = 30k \] Dividing the entire equation by 3 gives: \[ a + b + c + d = 10k \] 3. **Find Individual Variables:** Now we can express \(d\) in terms of \(k\): - From \(a + b + c = 6k\), we can substitute \(d\): \[ d = (a + b + c + d) - (a + b + c) = 10k - 6k = 4k \] - From \(b + c + d = 7k\): \[ b + c + 4k = 7k \implies b + c = 3k \] - From \(c + d + a = 8k\): \[ c + 4k + a = 8k \implies a + c = 4k \] - From \(d + a + b = 9k\): \[ 4k + a + b = 9k \implies a + b = 5k \] 4. **Solve for \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\):** Now we have three equations: - \(a + b = 5k\) (1) - \(b + c = 3k\) (2) - \(a + c = 4k\) (3) From equation (1), we can express \(b\): \[ b = 5k - a \] Substitute \(b\) into equation (2): \[ (5k - a) + c = 3k \implies c = 3k - 5k + a = -2k + a \] Substitute \(c\) back into equation (3): \[ a + (-2k + a) = 4k \implies 2a - 2k = 4k \implies 2a = 6k \implies a = 3k \] 5. **Find \(b\) and \(c\):** Substitute \(a = 3k\) back into the equations: - From (1): \[ 3k + b = 5k \implies b = 2k \] - From (2): \[ 2k + c = 3k \implies c = k \] 6. **Find \(d\):** We already found \(d\) earlier: \[ d = 4k \] 7. **Final Ratios:** Now we have: - \(a = 3k\) - \(b = 2k\) - \(c = k\) - \(d = 4k\) Therefore, the ratio \(a : b : c : d\) is: \[ 3k : 2k : k : 4k = 3 : 2 : 1 : 4 \] ### Conclusion: The final answer is: \[ a : b : c : d = 3 : 2 : 1 : 4 \]
