In a library, the ratio of the books on Computer, Physics and Mathematics is 5:7:8. If the collection of books is increased respectively by 40%, 50% and 75%, find out the new ratio:
(A)
3:9:5
(B)
7:5:3
(C)
2:3:4
(D)
2:5:4
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
40% increase will lead to a factor of 140 and similarly 150 and 175 so new ratio is (5*140):(7*150):(8*175) on solving we get 2:3:4
