Given, $$\frac{(d -3n)}{(7n - d)}= 1$$
Or, d-3n=7n-d
Or, 2d=10n
Or, d=5n
Or, d is 5 times n.

Ans. (E)

(d -3n) / (7n - d) = 1
d - 3n = 7n - d
2d = 10n
d = 5n i.e, d is 5 times of n

Hence, E.

Given

$$\frac{(d -3n)}{(7n - d)}= 1$$

d-3n = 7n-d

2d = 10n

d = 5n.

So, d is basically 5 times of n.

Or, $$d - 3n = 7n - d$$

Or, $$2d = 10n$$

Or, $$d = 5n$$ ,Answer must be (E)

Simplifying and solving for d, we have:

d - 3n = 7n - d

2d = 10n

d = 5n
