If A : B = 2 : 3, B : C = 2 : 4 and C : D = 2 : 5, then A : D is equal to –

a) 1 : 5
b) 2 : 5
c) 3 : 5
d) 2 : 15

Answer: d
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}} = \frac{2}{3},\,\frac{{\text{B}}}{{\text{C}}} = \frac{2}{4},\,\frac{{\text{C}}}{{\text{D}}} = \frac{2}{5} \cr & \frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{D}}} = \left( {\frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}} \times \frac{{\text{B}}}{{\text{C}}} \times \frac{{\text{C}}}{{\text{D}}}} \right) \cr & \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{4} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{{15}} \cr & {\text{A}}:{\text{D}} = 2:15. \cr} $$
