If $(x+1): 8=3.75: 7$, then the value of $x$ is

(a)$1 \frac{2}{7}$

(b)$2 \frac{2}{7}$

(c)$3 \frac{2}{7}$

(d)$4 \frac{2}{7}$

Answer

Answer (as printed): C

Explanation

$(x+1): 8=3.75: 7 \Leftrightarrow 7(x+1)=8 \times 3.75=30$ $\Leftrightarrow x+1=\frac{30}{7} \Leftrightarrow x=\frac{30}{7}-1=\frac{23}{7}=3 \frac{2}{7}$.
