Example (with steps)1. If `a/b=c/d=e/f` then prove that `(2a+3c-4e)/(2b+3d-4f)=(5a-4c+3e)/(5b-4d+3f)`
Solution: `a/b=c/d=e/f`
Suppose, `a/b=c/d=e/f=k` (say)
`:. a=bk,c=dk,e=fk`
Now LHS`=(2a+3c-4e)/(2b+3d-4f)`
`=(2bk+3dk-4fk)/(2b+3d-4f)`
`=(k(2b+3d-4f))/(2b+3d-4f)`
`"Now cancel the common factor "(2b+3d-4f)`
`=k`
Now RHS`=(5a-4c+3e)/(5b-4d+3f)`
`=(5bk-4dk+3fk)/(5b-4d+3f)`
`=(k(5b-4d+3f))/(5b-4d+3f)`
`"Now cancel the common factor "(5b-4d+3f)`
`=k`
