Which ratio is also equal to [tex] \frac{RT}{RX}[/tex] and [tex] \frac{RS}{RY}[/tex]?

A. [tex] \frac{XY}{TS}[/tex]
B. [tex] \frac{SY}{RY}[/tex]
C. [tex] \frac{RX}{XT}[/tex]
D. [tex] \frac{ST}{YX}[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which ratio is also equal to both [tex]\(\frac{RT}{RX}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{RS}{RY}\)[/tex], let's analyze the given ratios and see how they simplify. We need to identify one of the given options that matches the structure of [tex]\(\frac{RT}{RX}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{RS}{RY}\)[/tex].

Given ratios for comparison:
1. [tex]\(\frac{RT}{RX}\)[/tex]
2. [tex]\(\frac{RS}{RY}\)[/tex]

Let's analyze each option provided:

1. [tex]\(\frac{XY}{TS}\)[/tex]
- This ratio involves parts [tex]\(XY\)[/tex] and [tex]\(TS\)[/tex]. There is no immediate simplification to compare with [tex]\(\frac{RT}{RX}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{RS}{RY}\)[/tex].

2. [tex]\(\frac{SY}{RY}\)[/tex]
- Simplifying [tex]\(\frac{SY}{RY}\)[/tex] can lead to [tex]\(\frac{S}{R}\)[/tex], which is not equivalent to the ratios we're comparing.

3. [tex]\(\frac{RX}{XT}\)[/tex]
- We should look carefully at this.
- Simplifying [tex]\(\frac{RX}{XT}\)[/tex], if these terms are proportional, it can match the given structure.

4. [tex]\(\frac{ST}{YX}\)[/tex]
- This ratio involves [tex]\(ST\)[/tex] and [tex]\(YX\)[/tex]. There is no direct proportional simplification that matches the given ratios.

Upon careful consideration of the options, we can see that:

- [tex]\(\frac{RT}{RX}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{RS}{RY}\)[/tex] hold a similar structural form.
- The ratio that fits this structural analogy from the options provided is [tex]\(\frac{RX}{XT}\)[/tex].

Thus, the correct ratio that matches both [tex]\(\frac{RT}{RX}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{RS}{RY}\)[/tex] is [tex]\(\frac{RX}{XT}\)[/tex].

So, the ratio [tex]\(\frac{RX}{XT}\)[/tex] is also equal to [tex]\(\frac{RT}{RX}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{RS}{RY}\)[/tex].

Therefore, the correct option is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{3} \][/tex]
