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.

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.
