    The may be A)105

    Because,

    58/89=0.65168539325842696629213483146067

    is equal to 63/x

    63/105=0.6

    63/208=0.30288461538461538461538461538462

    63/247=0.25506072874493927125506072874494

    63/221=0.28506787330316742081447963800905

    of these 63/105 is similar to 58/89

    so the answer is 63/105

    58 : 89 :: 63 : x

    Solve for x.

    x

    = (89*63)/58

    = 96.67

    The proportion a/b = c/d was formerly written

    a : b :: c : d and is read as "a is to b as c is to d."

    In this form it is customary to call b and c the means

    and a and d the extremes.

    or 58/89=63/x

    x=63*89/58

    none of the options seem to be the ans.

  • 9 years ago

    It is given that this two ratios are in proportion so.;

    Product of Mean = Product of Extreme

    => 58*x = 89*63

    =>x = 89*63/58

    =>x = ............(96.6)

    none of the options are correct.

    set it up like a fraction and then cross multiply... but just looking at it, I think the answer is A. 58 is more than half of 89, so 63 has to be more than half of the answer.
