Algebra Q#4

0. If a/b = b/c = c/d, then (b3 + c3 + d3 ) / (a3 + b3 + c3 ) will be equal to

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : Let a/b = b/c = c/d =k.
    ⇒ a=bk=ck2=dk3, b=dk2 and c=dk.
    (b3 + c3 + d3 ) / (a3 + b3 + c3 ) = [(dk2)3 + (dk)3 + d3 ]/ [(dk3)3  + (dk2)3 + (dk)3 ]
    =d3  [ K6 + K3 +1] / d3 [K9 + K6 + K3 ]
    =[ K6 + K3 +1]/K3 [ K6 + K3 +1]
    =1/K3  =1/a/d =d/a
