If x = 3 , the ratio of (2x + 3y) and (3y – 2x) is
y 4

1. 2 : 1
2. 3 : 2
3. 1 : 1
4. 3 : 1

Correct Option: D

x	=	3	(Given)
y		4

∴	2x + 3y
	3y − 2y

=	2x	+	3y
	y		y

	3y	−	2x
	y		y

(Dividing numerator and denominator by y)

=	2x	+ 3
	y

	3 − 2.	x
		y

=	2 ×	3	+ 3
		4

	3 − 2 ×	3
		4

=	3	+ 3
	2

	3 −	3
		2

=	3 + 6	=	9
	6 − 3		3

= 3 : 1
