Question : If $x:y=3:4$, then $4x+5y:5x–2y=?$
Option 1: $7:32$
Option 2: $32:7$
Option 3: $4:3$
Option 4: $5:2$
Correct Answer: $32:7$
Solution : Given: $x:y=3:4$ --------------------------------(1) Or, $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{4}$ Now, $(4x+5y):(5x–2y)$ Dividing by $y$ in the numerator and the denominator, we get, $[4(\frac{x}{y})+5]:[5(\frac{x}{y})–2]$ = $[4(\frac{3}{4})+5:5(\frac{3}{4})–2]$ (Putting the value of $\frac{x}{y}$ from equation 1) = $(3+5):(\frac{15}{4}–2)$ = $8:(\frac{15–8}{4})$ = $8:\frac{7}{4}$ = $32:7$ Hence, the correct answer is $32:7$.
Question : Directions: A farmer is preparing his field. He starts his tractor from the garage and drives 5 km towards the East. From there, he turns right and drives 6 km. Then, he turns right and drives 8 km. Again, he turns right and drives 10 km when his tractor breaks down. What is the shortest distance between his current location and the garage?

Option 2: 6 km
Option 3: 9 km
Option 4: 2 km
Correct Answer: 5 km
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Now, we have to find the shortest distance between his current location and the garage.
EF = ED – FD (FD = BC) EF = 10 – 6 EF = 4 km
