Question: Find out the numbers indicated by x and in `3 1/x xx y 2/5 = 13 3/4`fractions being in their lowest terms.
A`x = 4, y = 8`
B`x = 4, y = 4`
C`x = 2, y = 4`
D`x = 8, y = 4`
Note: Take y = 4. Then,` 3 1/x xx 4 2/5 = 13 3/4`
`:. (3x + 1)/x`
`= (35/4 xx 5/22) => (3x + 1)/x`
`= (3x + 1)/x = 25/8`
`=> 24x + 8 = 25x => x = 8`
`:. x = 8, y = 4`
