1 answer:
The correct option is A. It can be solved by the concept of ratio and proportion.
What is ratio?
It is the way of representation of a quantity relative to the other quantity. Its symbol is :. For example size of 2 relative to 5 is represented by 2:5 or 2/5.
Total number of applicantas = 9
Accepted applicants = 2
Not accepted applicants = 9-2 = 7
Take the ratio of accepted to the not accepted applicants = 2/7
Now, if new not accepted applicants are x then accepted applicants are 360. To keep the ratio constant, the following equation must be satisfied:
Hence, the correct option is A. It can be solved by the concept of ratio and proportion.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the figure = area of the down triangle + area of trapezium + area of the upper triangle
Down triangle:
Base b = 8 in
Height = 6 in
= 24 in²
Trapezium:
bases a = 4 in & b = 6 in
Height h = 5 in
= 25 in²
Area of the upper triangle:
Base b = 6 in
Height = (8 - 5) = 3 in
= 9 in²
Area of the figure = 24 + 25 + 9 = 58 in²
