I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. All of the following proportions are equivalent except a/d=c/b. 

a/b=c/d

b/a=d/c => a/b = c/d


a/d=c/b not equal to a/b = c/d

a/c=b/d => a/b = c/d

The concept of ratio and proportion is applied.

The correct one is ad = bc.

Thus, option c is not equivalent to proportional.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

Let, the ratio will be

\(\rm \dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}\)

It can be written in different forms are as follows

  1. \(\rm \dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}\), is correct.
  2. \(\rm \dfrac{a}{c}=\dfrac{b}{d}\), is correct.
  3. \(\rm \dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{d}{c}\), is correct.
  4. \(\rm \dfrac{a}{d}=\dfrac{c}{b}\), is not correct. The correct one is ad = bc.

Thus, option c is not equivalent to proportional.
