57:45:33

7:4:4

- The original proportion of seats for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology is 7:5:8.

- Seats are increased by 50% for Physics, 40% for Chemistry, and 25% for Biology.

- Calculation of increased seats involves:

- Physics: \(7 \times 1.5 = 10.5\)

- Chemistry: \(5 \times 1.4 = 7\)

- Biology: \(8 \times 1.25 = 10\)

- Simplifying the new ratio 10.5:7:10 gives us 21:14:20.

Your conclusion matches with the calculated proportion.

Therefore, your answer is right.
