A4/15 = B2/5.
A/B = 3/2,
5 = 1210,
1 = 242,
B = 242 of 2 = 484.
A/B = 3/2,
5 = 1210,
1 = 242,
B = 242 of 2 = 484.

Listen @Yogesh.
Take A=3x and B=2x.
5x= 1210 => x= 242.
Then B= 2 * 242= 484 Ans.

@Harshita
4/15 is on the left side.
So when we take it to the right side of the equal sign then we reciprocate it i.e., 4/15 becomes 15/4.
The same rule applies from right to left.
