The ratio of A to B is 4 : 5 and that of B to C is 2 : 3. If A equals 800, C equals :

The ratio of A to B is 4 : 5 and that of B to C is 2 : 3. If A equals 800, C equals :
[A]1000
[B]1200
[C]1500
[D]2000

1500
$latex A : B = 4 : 5$
$latex B : C = 2 : 3$
$latex \therefore A : B : C = 4\times 2 : 5\times 2 : 5\times 3$
$latex = 8 : 10 : 15$
If A equals 800, then C equals 1500.
Hence option [C] is correct answer.
