  1. Solution:

    (i) It is given that

    A: B = 2: 3, B: C = 4: 5 and C: D = 6: 7

    We can write it as

    A/ B = 2/3, B/C = 4/5, C/D = 6/7

    By multiplication

    A/B × B/C × C/D = 2/3 × 4/5 × 6/7

    So we get

    A/D = 16/35

    A: D = 16: 35

    (ii) We know that the LCM of y terms 3 and 4 is 12

    Now making equals of y as 12

    x/y = 2/3 = (2 × 4)/ (3 × 4) = 8/12 = 8: 12

    y/z = 4/7 × 3/3 = 12/21 = 12: 21

    So x: y: z = 8: 12: 21
