➤ How to solve ?

⠀⠀⠀⠀

For solving such questions we need to know ratio and proportion .

⠀⠀⠀⠀

We know that in a : b : c = x : y : z ;

⠀⠀⠀⠀

a : b = x : y

⠀⠀⠀⠀

b : c = y : z

⠀⠀⠀⠀

c : a = z : x

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Solution :

⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀

let the unknown value be x and y ;

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Therefore ;

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Required ratio = 6 : x : 15 = y : 20 : 10

➠ x : 15 = 20 : 10

Now, we will change it into fraction

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ x / 15 = 20 / 10

➠ x = 20 × 15 / 10

➠ x = 2 × 15

➠ x = 30

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Now the ratio becomes ;

⠀⠀⠀⠀

6 : 30 : 15 = y : 20 : 10

➠ 6 : 30 = y : 20

➠ 6 / 30 = y / 20

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ y = 6 × 20 / 30

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ y = 6 × 2 / 3

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ y = 2 × 2

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ y = 4
