Question
Select the correct alternative from the given choices.Three positive numbers $p, q$ and $r$ satisfy $\frac{q+r}{p}=\frac{p+r}{q}=\frac{p+q}{r}=K . K=$____.(A) $3 / 2$(B) $5 / 2$(C) 3(D) 2
Step 1
Step 1: From the given problem, we have three equations: \begin{align*} \frac{q+r}{p} &= K \quad \text{(equation 1)} \\ \frac{p+r}{q} &= K \quad \text{(equation 2)} \\ \frac{p+q}{r} &= K \quad \text{(equation 3)} \end{align*} Show more…
