If x/y=6/5, then the value of (6/7-(5 x-y)/(5 x+y)) is equal to · ABC26GN0966
Subject: General Aptitude · Chapter: Simplification
If $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{6}{5}$, then the value of $\left(\frac{6}{7}-\frac{5 x-y}{5 x+y}\right)$ is equal to
(a)$\frac{1}{7}$
(b)$\frac{2}{7}$
(c)$\frac{3}{7}$
(d)$\frac{4}{7}$
Answer
Explanation
$$\begin{aligned} \left(\frac{6}{7}-\frac{5 x-y}{5 x+y}\right) & =\frac{6}{7}-\left(\frac{5 \frac{x}{y}-1}{5 \frac{x}{y}+1}\right)=\frac{6}{7}-\left(\frac{5 \times \frac{6}{5}-1}{5 \times \frac{6}{5}+1}\right) \\ & =\frac{6}{7}-\left(\frac{6-1}{6+1}\right)=\frac{6}{7}-\frac{5}{7}=\frac{1}{7} \end{aligned}$$
