For dividing 16 into two whole numbers, the sum of the ratio terms must be a factor of 16. A :- 5 : 3 → 5+3 = 8 (factor of 16) B :- 1 : 1 → 1+1 = 2(factor of 16) C :- 1 : 7 → 1+7 = 8(factor of 16) D :- 3 : 4 → 3+4 = 7( not factor of 16) Hence option (d) because 3 + 4 = 7 doesn’t divide 16 into whole numbers.Related questions
