    If a : b = c : d = e :  f = 1 : 2, then (pa + qc + re) : (pb + qd + rf)is equal to

    A) p: (q + r)                      

    B) (p + q): r

    C) 2: 3                              

    D) 1: 2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\because \] \[a:b=c:d=e:f=1:2\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a=\frac{1}{2}b,\] \[c=\frac{1}{2}d,\] \[e=\frac{1}{2}f\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{pq+qc+re}{pq+qd+rf}=\frac{\begin{matrix}    1  \\    2  \\ \end{matrix}pb+\begin{matrix}    1  \\    2  \\ \end{matrix}qd+\begin{matrix}    1  \\    2  \\ \end{matrix}rf}{pq+qd+rf}\]             \[=\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{pq+qd+rf}{pq+qd+rf} \right)=\frac{1}{2}=1:2\]
