Q:

If (4a +7b) (4c-7d) = (4a -7b) (4c +7d, then which one of the following is correct ?

A) a/b = c/d B) a/d = c/b
C) a/b = d/c D) none
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a/b = c/d

Explanation:

(4a+7b)(4c-7d) = (4a-7b)(4c+7d)

(4a+7b)/(4a-7b) = (4c+7d)/(4c-7d)

Using componendo and dividendo

(4a+7b)+(4a-7b) / (4a+7b)-(4a-7b)

= (4c+7d)+(4c-7d) / (4c+7d)-(4c-7d)

Or 8a/14b = 8c/14d
