Is there any reason for placing B4 i.e. 85 + 95 in the numerator?
What comes if we use B2 (i.e 75 + 65) as the numerator. Is there any formula or law for doing that?

75 + 65/85 + 95 = 140/180.
=7/9 => i.e 7 : 9.
=7/9 => i.e 7 : 9.

It was just because when we calculate such kind of questions we have to take their alternatives.
