    If x : y = 4 : 5, then (3x + y) : (5x + 3y) =

    A) 3 : 5                             

    B) 5: 3

    C) 17: 35  

    D) 35: 17

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{5}\] \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{3x+y}{5x+3y}=\frac{3\left( \frac{x}{y} \right)+1}{5\left( \frac{x}{y} \right)+3}\]             \[=\frac{3\times \frac{4}{5}+1}{5\times \frac{4}{5}+3}=\frac{\frac{12+5}{5}}{7}=\frac{17}{35}\]
