Solution:
It is given that
2: 3, 17: 21, 11: 14 and 5: 7
We can write it in fractions as
2/3, 17/21, 11/14, 5/7
Here the LCM of 3, 21, 14 and 7 is 42
By converting the ratio as equivalent
2/3 = (2 × 14)/ (3 × 14) = 28/42
17/21 = (17 × 2)/ (21 × 2) = 34/ 42
11/14 = (11 × 3)/ (14 × 3) = 33/42
5/7 = (5 × 6)/ (7 × 6) = 30/42
Now writing it in ascending order
28/42, 30/42, 33/42, 34/42
By further simplification
2/3, 5/7, 11/14, 17/21
So we get
2: 3, 5: 7, 11: 14 and 17: 21
