If A:B=5:3, then what is the value of (A+B):(A−B)?

  1. A
    4:1
  2. B
    2:1
  3. C
    4:3
  4. D
    8:3

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Given that A:B=5:3, we can substitute A=5 and B=3 directly into the expression since it is homogeneous.
We need to find the value of:

A−B
A+B


Substituting the values:

5−3
5+3

=
2
8

=
1
4


Thus, (A+B):(A−B)=4:1.
