Q.If ???? 3 = ???? 5 = ???? 8 , then what is the value of 3 ???? − 5 ???? + 2 ???? ???? ?" (a) \(\frac{1}{5}\) (b) 5 (c) 0 (d) 10
Answer: C
Let \( \frac{a}{3} = \frac{b}{5} = \frac{c}{8} = k \) Then, \( a = 3k \), \( b = 5k \), \( c = 8k \) Therefore, \[ \frac{3a - 5b + 2c}{a} = \frac{3 \times 3k - 5 \times 5k + 2 \times 8k}{3k} = \frac{9k - 25k + 16k}{3k} = \frac{0}{3k} = 0 \]
