Answer

Given,

A : B = 5 : 6

B : C = 9 : 11

Taking L.C.M of two values of B i.e. 6 and 9 = 18.

So, AB=5×36×3=1518\dfrac{A}{B} = \dfrac{5 \times 3}{6 \times 3} = \dfrac{15}{18} = 15 : 18

and BC=9×211×2=1822\dfrac{B}{C} = \dfrac{9 \times 2}{11 \times 2} = \dfrac{18}{22} = 18 : 22

∴ A : B : C = 15 : 18 : 22

⇒ A : C = 15 : 22.

(i)

Hence, A : C = 15 : 22.

(ii)

Hence, A : B : C = 15 : 18 : 22.
