OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 : EA = 1 : DC 2 : DC = 5 : EA 3 : EA = 2 : DC 1 : DC = 2 : EA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im thinking the 2nd one..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@saifoo.khan ?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Ops, sorry i was in another tab.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. Im feeling is the 2nd one or 3rd but i think the 1st and 4th are wrong.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Yup, let me see.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

It's not C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then i think its B. but im going to go with D, the last one because it seems like if DC=2 then times that by 8=16 and the other side would be 3*8=24..

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

It can't be D man. Look, the basic ratio is the key here. DB : BE 16 : 24 2 : 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

honestly actually i think thats wrong now because i was thinking of 3 but the last one is dc=2, ea=1.. confused :s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok if its not D, and its not A and i don't think its b its c? but u said its not..

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Try applying the logic of B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not rly getting it.. B?.. if DC = 5, nothing times 5 = 16..

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

NO NO! IT'S C!!!!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

I actually mixed the options. i thought the option B is C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, ok, cause i was like yea, ratios.. 3,2=16,24.. alright, lol.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

LOL. sorry bro. My bad. I was actually distracted my something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its alright, tnx though. :)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Anytime. (:
