Question : Directions: Select the related letter/number from the given alternatives.
$\frac{C}{L}:\frac{24}{27}:\frac{E}{N}:\:?$

Option 1: $\frac{54}{50}$

Option 2: $\frac{56}{45}$

Option 3: $\frac{125}{197}$

Option 4: $\frac{56}{54}$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{56}{45}$


Solution : Given:
$\frac{C}{L}:\frac{24}{27}:\frac{E}{N}:\:?$

Like, $\frac{C}{L}$ = $\frac{3\:\times\:9}{12\:\times\:(3\:–\;1)}$ = $\frac{3\:\times\:9}{12\:\times\:2}$ = $\frac{27}{24}$
Now, reciprocal of $\frac{27}{24}$ = $\frac{24}{27}$
Thus, $\frac{C}{L}$ is related to $\frac{24}{27}$.

Similarly, follow the same pattern for $\frac{E}{N}$ –
Like, $\frac{E}{N}$ = $\frac{5\:\times\:9}{14\:\times\:(5\:–\;1)}$ = $\frac{5\:\times\:9}{14\:\times\:4}$ = $\frac{45}{56}$
Now, reciprocal of $\frac{45}{56}$ = $\frac{56}{45}$

So,
