Correct Answer: 4 : 7


Solution : Given: The ratio of sand to stone in a mixture is 5 : 8 while that between stone and cement is 32 : 35.
The ratio of sand to stone = 5 : 8 = (5 × 4) : (8 × 4) = 20 : 32
So, the ratio of sand, stone, and cement = 20 : 32 : 35
Therefore, the ratio of sand to cement = 20 : 35 = 4 : 7
Hence, the correct answer is 4 : 7.
