Detailed Explanation & Answer
We are given the equations:

ab = 1
bc = 1/2
cd = 6
de = 2
ef = 1/2

We need to find the ratio (ad : be : cf).

Step 1: Express each variable in terms of a

From ab = 1, we get b = 1/a
From bc = 1/2, substituting b: (1/a) * c = 1/2 → c = a/2
From cd = 6, substituting c: (a/2) * d = 6 → d = 12/a
From de = 2, substituting d: (12/a) * e = 2 → e = a/6
From ef = 1/2, substituting e: (a/6) * f = 1/2 → f = 3/a

Step 2: Compute ad, be, cf

ad = a * (12/a) = 12
be = (1/a) * (a/6) = 1/6
cf = (a/2) * (3/a) = 3/2

Step 3: Find the ratio (ad : be : cf)

(12 : 1/6 : 3/2)

Multiply all terms by 6 to eliminate fractions:

(72 : 1 : 9)
हमें समीकरण दिए गए हैं:

ab = 1
bc = 1/2
cd = 6
de = 2
ef = 1/2

हमें अनुपात (ad : be : cf) ज्ञात करना है।

चरण 1: प्रत्येक चर को a के पदों में व्यक्त करें

ab = 1 से, हमें b = 1/a मिलता है
bc = 1/2 से, b प्रतिस्थापित करने पर: (1/a) * c = 1/2 → c = a/2
cd = 6 से, c प्रतिस्थापित करने पर: (a/2) * d = 6 → d = 12/a
de = 2 से, d प्रतिस्थापित करने पर: (12/a) * e = 2 → e = a/6
ef = 1/2 से, e प्रतिस्थापित करने पर: (a/6) * f = 1/2 → f = 3/a

चरण 2: ad, be, cf की गणना करें

ad = a * (12/a) = 12
be = (1/a) * (a/6) = 1/6
cf = (a/2) * (3/a) = 3/2

चरण 3: अनुपात ज्ञात करें (ad : be : cf)

(12 : 1/6 : 3/2)
