Mathematics 2011 JAMB Past Questions - Question 5: If the number M,N,Q are in the ratio 5:4:3 ,Find the value of 2N -Q /M
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
C
Explanation
N: N: Q = 5:4:3therefore N = 5 N = 4 Q =32N - Q / N = 2(4) -3 /58-3 /5 = 5/5= 1Given that the numbers M, N, and Q are in the ratio 5:4:3, we can represent them as follows:M = 5xN = 4xQ = 3xTo find the value of (2N - Q) / M, we substitute the values of N and Q into the expression:(2N - Q) / M = (2(4x) - 3x) / (5x)Simplifying further:(8x - 3x) / (5x) = 5x / (5x) = 1Therefore, the value of (2N - Q) / M is 1.
