1 :: Ratio and Proportion 1. In a college, the ratio of the number of boys to girls is 8 :. If there are 160 girls, the total number of students in the college is:. [Central Excise ] Answer: 416 Let the number of boys and girls be 8x and x. Total number of students = 13x = 13 x 32 = The ratio of two numbers is 3 : 4 and their sum is 420. The greater of the two numbers is :. [Railways 1991] Answer: 240 Required number = (420 * (4/7)) = If a+b : b+c : c+a = 6 : 7 : 8 and a + b + c = 14, then the value of c is :. [C.B.I. 1993] Answer: 14 (a/3) = (b/4) = (c/7) then a = 3k, b = 4k, c = 7k a+b+c/c = 3k+4k+7k/7k = 14k/7k = 2 View Answer Report Error Let us discuss 4. If 1% of x is the same as 20% of y, then x : y is :. [C.B.I. 1990] 3 : 4 17 : 16 4 : 3 16 : 17 Answer: 4 : 3 1% of x = 2O% of y 1x/100 = 20y/100 x/y = 4/3. A sum of Rs. 427 is to be divided among A, B and C such that 3 times A s share, 4 tunes B s share and 7 times C s share are all equal. The share of C is : (Assistant Grade 1994) Rs. 84. Rs. 196 Rs. 147 Rs. 240 Answer: Rs A = 4B = 7C = k,then A = k/3, B = k/4 and C= k/7. A : B : C = k/3 : k/4 : k/7 = 28:21 :12. Cs share = Rs. [427 x (12/61)] = Rs An alloy is to contain copper and zinc in the ratio 9 :4. The zinc required (in kg) to be melted with 24 kg of copper, is 7 10 and 2/3 9 and 2/3 10 and 1/3 9

Rs. 730 were divided among A, B, C in such a way that if A gets Rs. 3, then B gets Rs. 4 and if B gets Rs. 3.0 then C gets Rs. 3. The share of B exceeds that of C by :. [Central Excise ] Rs. 30 Rs. 70 Rs. 40 Rs. 210 Answer: Rs. 40 A:B = 3:4 and B:C = 7/2:3 = (8/7)*(7/2)*(8/7)*3 = 4:(24/7) A : B : C = 3 :4: 24/7 = 21 : 28 : 24. Bs share = Rs. [730 *(28/73)]= Rs C s share = Rs. [730 * (24/73)] = Rs Difference of their shares = If 0.4 : 1.4 :: 1.4 : x, the value of x is :. [Teachers Exam 1] Answer: * x = 1.4 * 1.4 x = (1.4*1.4)/0.4 = What number should be subtracted from both the terms of the ratio 1 : 19 so as to make it as 3 : 4? (Assistant Grade 1994) Answer: 3 Let x be subtracted. Then, (1 - x) / (19 - x) = 3/4 4(1 - x) = 3(19 - x) x = If p : q = 3 : 4 and q : r= 8 : 9, then p : r is :. [Assistant Grade] 1: 3 2 : 3 3 : 2 1: 2 Answer: 2 : 3 p/r = (p/q) * (q/r) = (3/4) * (8/9) = 2/3 so p : q = 2:3 11. The salaries of A, B, and C are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. The salary of B and C together is Rs By what percent is the salary of C more than that of A? (Bank P.O. 1992) 100% 300% 200% 600% Answer: 600% Let the salaries of A, B, C hex, 2x and 3x respectively. Then,2x + 3x = 6000 = x = As salary = Rs. 1200, Bs salary = Rs. 2400, and Cs salary Rs Excess of Cs salary over As=[(2400/1200)x100] = 200%. 12. An amount of money is to be distributed among F, Q and R in the ratio 3 : : 7. If Qs share is Rs. 100, what is
3 the difference between Ps and Rs shares?. [Bank P.O. 1994] Rs Rs Rs, 100 Rs Answer: Rs Let P = 3x, Q = x and R = 7x. Then, x = 100 x = 300. P=900,Q=100 and R = 21OO. Hence, (R - p) = ( ) = What number should be added to each of the numbers 8, 21, 13 and 31 so that the resulting numbers, in this order form a proportion?. [U.D.C. 1993] Answer: (8+x)/(21+x) = (13+x)/(31+x) Then, (8 + x)(31 + x) = (13 + x)(21 + x) or39x = 34x or x=2 or x =. 14. The ratio of income of A to that of B is : 4 and the expenditure of A to that of B is 3: 2. If at the end of the year, each saves Rs, 800, the income of A is :. [Assistant Grade] Rs Rs Rs Rs Answer: Rs Let the incone of A and B be x and 4x and. the expenditures of A and B be 3y and 2y. Then, x 3y = 800 and 4x 2y= 800. On solving we get : x = 400. As income = x = Rs A profit of Rs is to be distributed among A, B, C in the proportion 3 : : 7. What will be the difference between B s and C s shares?. [Bank P.O. 1993] Rs Rs Rs Rs Answer: Rs Bs share = Rs *(/1) = Rs C s share = Rs * (7/1) = Rs.14000, Difference in Bs and Cs shares = Rs Rs. 120 are divided among A, B, C such that A s share is Rs. 20 more than B s and Rs. 20 less than C s. What is B s share.. [Railways 1991] Rs. 10 Rs. 20 Rs. 1 Rs. 2 Answer: Rs. 20 Let C = x. Then A = (x 20) and B = (x 40). x + x x - 40 = 120 Or x=60. A:B:C = 40:20:60 = 2:1 :3. Bs share = Rs. 120*(1/6) = Rs If 7 : x = 17. : 22., then the value of x is:. [Assistant grade] 9 6

The smaller number = (3 x 11) = In a bag, there are coins of 2 p, 10 p and p in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. If there is Rs. 30 in all, how many p coins are there? A. 0 B. 100 C. 10 D. 200 Let the number of 2 p, 10 p and p coins be x, 2x, 3x respectively. Then, sum of their values = Rs. 2x + 10 x 2x + x 3x = Rs. 60x x = x = 30 x 100 = Hence, the number of p coins = (3 x 0) = Ratio: The ratio of two quantities a and b in the same units, is the fraction and we write it as a : b.. In the ratio a : b, we call a as the first term or antecedent and b, the second term or consequent.. Eg. The ratio : 9 represents with antecedent =, consequent = 9. 9
11 Rule: The multiplication or division of each term of a ratio by the same non-zero number does not affect the ratio. Eg. 4 : = 8 : 10 = 12 : 1. Also, 4 : 6 = 2 : Proportion: The equality of two ratios is called proportion. If a : b = c : d, we write a : b :: c : d and we say that a, b, c, d are in proportion. Here a and d are called extremes, while b and c are called mean terms. Product of means = Product of extremes. Thus, a : b :: c : d (b x c) = (a x d). 3. Fourth Proportional: If a : b = c : d, then d is called the fourth proportional to a, b, c. Third Proportional: a : b = c : d, then c is called the third proportion to a and b. Mean Proportional: Mean proportional between a and b is ab. 4. Comparison of Ratios: We say that (a : b) > (c : d) a c >. b d. Compounded Ratio: 6. The compounded ratio of the ratios: (a : b), (c : d), (e : f) is (ace : bdf). 7. Duplicate Ratios: Duplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a 2 : b 2 ). Sub-duplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a : b). Triplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a 3 : b 3 ). Sub-triplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a 1/3 : b 1/3 ). If a = c, then a + b = c + d. b d a - b c - d [componendo and dividendo] 8. Variations: We say that x is directly proportional to y, if x = ky for some constant k and we write, x y. We say that x is inversely proportional to y, if xy = k for some constant k and we write, x 1. y
