21. If 2s : 3t is the duplicate ratio of 2s – p : 3t – p then (a) p2 =...
21. Duplicate Ratio
To solve this problem, we need to find the value of p in terms of s and t.
Given:
Duplicate Ratio = 2s : 3t
Duplicate Ratio of (2s - p) : (3t - p)
Let's find the ratio of (2s - p) : (3t - p) by substituting the values from the duplicate ratio.
(2s - p) : (3t - p) = (2s : 3t) = (2s/3t)
Now, let's solve for p.
Cross-multiplying, we have:
(2s - p)(3t - p) = (2s)(3t)
6st - 2sp - 3tp + p^2 = 6st
Rearranging the equation, we get:
p^2 - 2sp - 3tp + 6st = 0
Factoring the equation, we have:
(p - 3t)(p - 2s) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero, we get:
p - 3t = 0 or p - 2s = 0
p = 3t or p = 2s
Therefore, the value of p in terms of s and t is p = 3t or p = 2s.
None of the given options (a), (b), (c) matches the value of p.
So, the correct answer is (d) none of these.
22. Value of 5px 3qy : 10px 4qy
To solve this problem, we need to simplify the given expression.
Given:
p : q = 2 : 3
x : y = 4 : 5
Let's substitute the values of p, q, x, and y in the expression 5px 3qy : 10px 4qy.
5px 3qy : 10px 4qy = (5p)(x)(3q)(y) : (10p)(x)(4q)(y)
Canceling out common factors, we have:
5px 3qy : 10px 4qy = 15pxyq : 40pxyq
Now, let's simplify the expression further by canceling out common factors.
15pxyq : 40pxyq = (15p)(xy)(q) : (40p)(xy)(q)
Canceling out common factors, we have:
15p : 40p = 15 : 40
Simplifying the ratio, we get:
15 : 40 = 3 : 8
Therefore, the value of 5px 3qy : 10px 4qy is 3 : 8.
So, the correct answer is (d) none of these.
