    If p : q = r : s = t : u = 2 : 3, then (mp + nr + ot) : (mq + ns + ou)  is equal to

    A) 1 : 3                             

    B) 1 : 2

    C) 2 : 3                 

    D) 3 : 2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\because \] \[p:q=r:s=t:u=2:3\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[p=\frac{2}{3}q,\] \[r=\frac{2}{3}s,\] \[t=\frac{2u}{3}\]  \[\therefore \] \[\frac{mp+nr+ot}{mq+ns+ou}=\frac{\begin{matrix}    2  \\    3  \\ \end{matrix}mq+\begin{matrix}    2  \\    3  \\ \end{matrix}ns+\begin{matrix}    2  \\    3  \\ \end{matrix}ou}{mq+ns+ou}\]                         \[=\frac{2}{3}\left( \frac{mq+ns+ou}{mq+ns+ou} \right)=\frac{2}{3}=2:3\]
