If (2x+3y)∝(x+5y) or x∝y, then which of the following is true?
a. x/y = (5k-3/2-k) c. x = y(5k-3/2-k)
b. x:y = (5k-3):2-k d. all are correct



Answer :

All the given options are correct

How to determine which of the equation is true?

The variation expression is given as

(2x + 3y) ∝ (x + 5y)

Rewrite as an equation

So, we have

(2x + 3y) = k(x + 5y)

Remove the brackets

So, we have

2x + 3y = kx + 5ky

Collect the like terms

So, we have

kx - 2x = 3y - 5ky

This gives

x(k - 2) = y(3 - 5k)

Divide by both sides by y(k - 2)

x/y = (5k - 3)/(2 - k) --- option (a)

Multiply both sides by y

x = y(5k - 3)/(2 - k) --- option (b)

Express x/y = (5k - 3)/(2 - k) as ratio

x : y = (5k - 3) : (2 - k) --- option (c)

Hence, all the given options are correct
