If a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 4 and 2a - 3b + 4c = 33, then the value of c is-
A6
B9
C12
D66/7

Answer is : 12

Explanation:

\(a:b:c = 2:3:4\)

\(\therefore \frac{a}{2} = \frac{b}{3} = \frac{c}{4} =k\)

\(=>a=2k, b=3k, c=4k\)

\(\text{Given, } 2a-3b+4c =33\)

\(=> 2 * 2k - 3*3k+4*4k =33\)

\(=> 4k =9k+16k=33\)

\(=>11k =33\)

\(=> k = \frac{33}{11} =3\)

\(\therefore c = 4k \)

\(=> 4*3 =>12\)
