    If \[\frac{2}{3}AB=\frac{7}{2}BC=42\,\,cm\] then

    A) \[AB=BC\]                   

    B) \[AB<BC\]

    C) \[AB>BC\]                   

    D) \[AB\le BC\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\frac{2}{3}AB=\frac{7}{2}BC=42cm\] \[\frac{2}{3}AB=42\]and\[\frac{7}{2}BC=42\] \[AB=\frac{42\times 3}{2}=63\] \[BC=\frac{42\times 3}{7}=12\] Hence\[AB>BC\] Mind of a mathematician A thoughtful student does not need to do even this calculation. You see that \[\frac{2}{3}rd\] of a quality 'p' is equal to \[\frac{7}{2}th\] of another quantity 'q' Just by mentally thinking about it, quantity \['p'\] will be greater than quantity\['q'\]. Here quantity \['p=AB;\,\,'q'=BC\therefore AB>BC\]
