Question : The compound ratio of the inverse ratio of the ratios $x:yz, y:xz$ and $z:xy$ is:
Option 1: $1:xyz$
Option 2: $xyz:1$
Option 3: $1 : 1$
Option 4: $x:yz$
Correct Answer: $xyz:1$
Solution :
The inverse of $a$ is $\frac{1}{a}$ and a compound ratio is the ratio obtained when we compound two or more ratios through multiplication. For two ratios $m:n$ and $p:q$, the compound ratio is $mp:nq$.
The inverse ratio of the ratios,
$x:yz,y:xz$ and $z:xy$ is $yz:x,xz:y$ and $xy:z$, respectively.
$\therefore$ Their compound ratio = $(yz×xz×xy) : (xyz)=xyz:1$
Hence, the correct answer is $xyz:1$.
