If \( \Large \frac{2a-5b}{3a+6b}=\frac{4}{7} \), then a:b is equal to


A) 21 : 36

B) 2 : 56

C) 59 : 2

D) 36 : 21

Correct Answer:
C) 59 : 2

Description for Correct answer:
\( \Large \frac{2a-5b}{3a+6b}=\frac{4}{7} \)

=> \( \Large 14a - 35b = 12a + 24b \)

=> 2a = 59b

\( \Large \frac{a}{b} = \frac{59}{2} \)

Therefor, a : b = 59 : 2
