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.
