Question : Find the fraction which bears the same ratio to $\frac{1}{27}$ that $\frac{3}{7}$ does to $\frac{5}{9}$.

Option 1: $\frac{5}{9}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{35}$

Option 3: $\frac{45}{7}$

Option 4: $\frac{7}{45}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

$\frac{x}{\frac{1}{27}}=\frac{\frac{3}{7}}{\frac{5}{9}}$
⇒ $27x=\frac{27}{35}$
$\therefore x=\frac{1}{35}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{35}$.

Question : If the side of an equilateral triangle is 16 cm, then what is its area?

Option 1: $81 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 2: $48 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 3: $32 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

$=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 16\times 16$
$= 64\sqrt{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $64\sqrt3\ \mathrm{cm^2}$.
