Answer

Given,

⇒ A : B = 7 : 5

AB=75\Rightarrow \dfrac{A}{B} = \dfrac{7}{5} ……..(1)

⇒ B : C = 7 : 5

BC=75\Rightarrow \dfrac{B}{C} = \dfrac{7}{5} ……(2)

Multiplying equation (1) and (2), we get :

AB×BC=75×75AC=4925.\Rightarrow \dfrac{A}{B} \times \dfrac{B}{C} = \dfrac{7}{5} \times \dfrac{7}{5} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{A}{C} = \dfrac{49}{25}.

A : C = 49 : 25.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
