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

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

Hence, E.

E. d is 5 times n.



Given

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

d-3n = 7n-d

2d = 10n

d = 5n.

So, d is basically 5 times of n.

The best answer is E.

Simplifying and solving for d, we have:
