Concept of Ratio And Proportion

Ratio and Proportion are two different words let’s understand them one by one:

Ratio: Ratio is a mathematical concept that can be explained as it is the comparison of two quantities of the same unit.

For Example: a and b are two values of the same unit, and b is not equal to zero. Then,

The ratio will be the quotient a/b. (a:b=>a/b)

The symbol we use for the ratio is (:) colon.

Proportion: It can be defined as it is the equation that explains the two given ratios are equivalent to each other.

ANSWER KEYS and SOLUTIONS:

1) – 1)	2) – 2)	3) – 1)	4) – 2)	5) – 4)	6) – 3)

Solutions of the Above Questions with Explanation

Solution 1: 1)

Let the first part = x

Second part = 84 – x

According to the question,

(x × 1/5):(84 – x)/6 = 3:1

x/5 = (84 – x)/6 × 3

2x = 420 – 5x

7x = 420

x = 60

First part = 60

Hence, option a.

Solution 2: 2)

Required ratio = {(2/3) × 6}:(0.8 × 5):(0.75 × 8) = 4:4:6 = 2:2:3

Hence, option b.

Solution 3: 1)

Let the number of coins of Rs. 1, Rs. 2, 25 paise and 50 paise be 4x, 2x, 5x and 3x respectively

According to the question,

4x + (2 × 2x) + (5x/4) + (3x/2) = 172

Or, 16x + 16x + 5x + 6x = 172 × 4

Or, x = (172 × 4)/43

Or, x = 16

Required difference = (4x – 3x) = x = 16

Hence, option a.

Solution 4: 2)

Let the number of boys and girls present in the school be 5x and 4x respectively

Therefore, total number of students = 4x/0.25 = 16x

According to the question,

16x – 5x = 440

Or, x = 440/11 = 40

Total number of students = 16x = 640

Hence, option b.

Solution 5: 4)

Let age of A and B after 18 years be 8x years and 9x years respectively.

According to question;

(9x – 18) = 1.8 × (8x – 28)

9x – 18 = 14.4x – 50.4

5.4x = 32.4

x = 6

Desired ratio = (8 × 6 – 12):(9 × 6 – 12) = 36:42 = 6:7

Hence, option d.

Solution 6: 3)

Let the number followers on instagram and twitter was 17x and 12x respectively.

According to question;

(17x + 29 × 50)/(12x + 24 × 50) = 4/3

(17x + 1450)/(4x + 400) = 4

17x + 1450 = 16x + 1600

x = 150

Desired number of followers on twitter after 50 days = 12 × 150 + 24 × 50 = 1800 + 1200 = 3000

Hence, option c.

Solution 7: 1)

Let number of males and females on Monday be 13x and 12x respectively.

According to question

1.25 × 13x + 12x + 305 = 2000

16.25x + 12x = 1695

28.25x = 1695

x = 60

Desired ratio = (1.25 × 13 × 60):(12 × 60 + 305) = 975:1025 = 39:41

Hence, option a.

Solution 8: 1)

Let present age of A and B be 12x years and 17x years respectively.

According to question;

(12x + 6)/(17x + 6) = 14/19

(6x + 3)/(17x + 6) = 7/19

114x + 57 = 119x + 42

5x = 15

x = 3

Desired ratio = (12 × 3 – 6):(17 × 3 – 6) = 30:45 = 2:3

Hence, option a.

Solution 9: 2)

According to question;

(14 + x)/(21 + x) = (23 + x)/(33 + x)

Or, x² + 47x + 462 = x² + 44x + 483

Or, 3x = 21

Or, x = 7

So, 6x + 7 = 6 × 7 + 7 = 49

And, 5x + 1 = 5 × 7 + 1 = 36

So, mean proportion = √(49 × 36) = 7 × 6 = 42

Hence, option b.

Solution 10: 3)

Let age of ‘A’ and ‘B’, after 6 years is ‘2x’ years and ‘3x’ years respectively.

According to the question;

3x – 6 = 6 + 1.375 × (2x – 6)

Or, 0.25x = 3.75

Or, x = 15

Present age of ‘B’ = 3 × 15 – 6 = 39 years

Hence, option c.
