MCQ
If 8 : x :: 16 : 35, then x =
  • A
    35
  • B
    70
  • C
    $\frac{35}2$
  • D
    24

Answer

  1. $\frac{35}2$

Solution:

As, 8 : x :: 16 : 35

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{8}}{\text{x}}=\frac{16}{35}$

$\Rightarrow\text{16x}=8\times35$ (By cross multiplication)

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{8\times35}{16}$ (Transposing 16 to R.H.S.)

$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{35}{2}$

Hence, the correct alternative is option (c).
