    If a, b, c and d are real numbers such that  a : b = b : c = c : d  and  a : d = 8 : 125, then the value of a: c is

    A) 25 : 4               

    B) 125: 8

    C) 4: 25                

    D) 8: 25

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[a:b=b:c=c:d=x\] (say) and \[a:b=8:125\] \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{a}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{b}{c}\times \frac{c}{d}={{x}^{3}}=\frac{8}{125}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{2}{5}\] \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{a}{c}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{b}{c}={{x}^{2}}=\frac{4}{25}\]
