Rational Numbers — MATHS STD 7 — Question

It is given that the rational numbers $-\frac{3}{8}\text{ and }\frac{\text{x}}{-24}$ are equivalent rational numbers.
We know that the values of two equivalent rational numbers is equal.
$\therefore\frac{\text{x}}{-24}=-\frac{3}{8}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\times8=-3\times(-24)$
$\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{\text{c}}{\text{d}}\Rightarrow\text{ad}=\text{bc}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow8\text{x}=72$
$\Rightarrow\frac{8\text{x}}{8}=\frac{72}{8}$
(Dividing both sides by 8)
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=9 $
Hence, the correct answer is option $(c).$
