Bhai are you sure you're in 11th grade?
??
Mathmath u kiddin rn
\[\frac{80}{90} = \frac{120}{?}\]
is this 10th grade question
I normally encountered these in 6th/7th grade.
i should mention that this reasoning type question doesn't necessarily involves math
Yeah, I mean sure, you don't have to make an equation and solve it. This is as verbal as I can get about the question... 80:90 is the same as 8:9. Now 15*8 = 120 so the question mark should be replaced by 15*9.
i've never see the symbol :: before?
but now u have seen
Uh, I read it as "equivalent to" or "corresponds to" or "same as" or whatever.
yes lol - but what does it mean?
Are you sure the options are correct, mathmath?
it is used in reasoning /IQ type questions , where u have to find the pattern it may be more complex
and \(80/90=120/x\), \(x= 135\) is not in options
by doing some operation on 80, it is converted to 90 by applying the same operation on 120 u have to find the resulting number
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \normalsize \text{Fill in the blanks }\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & 80:90::120:?\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & a.)\ 143 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & b.)\ 156 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & c.)\ 169 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & d.)\ 181 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\) last option correct
*corrected
interesting, so this is not a simple proportion
wait got one more correction
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \normalsize \text{Fill in the blanks }\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & 80:99::120:?\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & a.)\ 143 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & b.)\ 156 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & c.)\ 169 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & d.)\ 181 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
this is full correct
8 * 10 9 * 11 12 * 10 13 * 11 = 143 143 = 11 * 13 156 = 12 * 13 169 = 13 * 13 181 = prime
143
181 is the answer, wow
How?
I thought the answer was 143.
because all the others are composite
we're not doing "odd man out" here ;p
i mean by pattern he got 143 = 11 * 13 156 = 12 * 13 169 = 13 * 13 except 181
Since 80, 90, and 120 are not prime, why would we think the last number should be prime?
oh i see
Then I was able to fit 143 as a continuation of the pattern, but not 181.
\(\large 80:99 :: 120:143\) \(\large 8 \times 10:9 \times 11 :: 12 \times 10: 13 \times 11\) \(\large 80:99 :: 120: 143\)
I think we can propose legit reasons for each other options to be the answers although 143 is more apparent one...
For example finding a \(k\) and \(l \) such that \[80k+l=90\\120k+l=any \ option\ \]
