SOLUTION AND EXPLANATION OF RATIO AND PROPORTION

1. (d)
10% of boys = 1/5 of girls
Boys/girls = 1/5: 1/10/100 = 2:1

2.(b)
According to the question,
A= 2C and B =A+B/2,
A: B: C = A: A: A/2 = 1:1:1/2 = 2:2:1.

3.(b)
Let the first number be 27-x and second number be x,
5(27-x) +11x = 195,
Then x = 10, so the ratio is 17/10.

4.(e)
Let speed of boat in still water is u and speed of current is v
Then u =6v
Ratio= speed of downstream: speed of upstream = u+v: u-v = 7:5

5.(b)
Given, 3/5 of total boys joined the club = 27, so total boys = 45,
Total girls = 75-45 = 30,
Girls joining club = 1/5 * 30 = 6.
Ratio is = 27/6 = 9/2.

6.(e)
Ratio is = 5/4.

7.(b)
Boys/girls = 25/29, boys + girls = 270,
Then girls = 145 and boys = 125,
After admission of 15 boys and 5 girls new ratio = 140/160 = 7/8.

8.(b)
Let the numbers be x and y,
Then numbers are 33, 55.

9.(e)
Income of A, B & C are in ratio of 7:9:12 and their spending in the ratio of 8:9:15.
For A, 7x- 8y =7/4x, then x= 32y/21, savings of A, B & C is 7/4x: 9(x-y): 12x-15y
On putting the value of x = 32y/21 in the ratio we get ratio as 56:99:69.

10.(b)
The new ratio between boys and girls are

11.(c)
Let the total number of coins be x. then,
60x/100 = Rs. 30
Then x= 50,
5p coins = 3*50 = 150.

12.(c)
The new ratio is = 6 * 140/100: 7* 130/100: 9 * 160/100= 84:91:144.

13.(b)
Total reduced amount = 2430 – (5+10+15) = 2400.
Q‘s share =

14.(c)
Let the income be x and expenditure be y,
Then, 5x-3y = 1600
And 4x- 2y = 1600
On solving both equation, we get x = 800, income of B = 4x = 3200.

15.(e)
Let the side of triangle be a, b, and c so a+b+c = 104cm,
Also a: b: c = ½:1/3:1/4.
x/2 +x/3 + x/4 = 104 cm
x = 96
Longest side is x/2 = 48 cm.

16.(b)
Third proportion of 16:26 is 169/4 and mean of 9 and 25 is (9*25)^1/2 = 3*5 = 15
Ratio is 169/4:15 = 169:60.

17.(c)
Let the number be x and x+50, then x: x+50 = 3:7.
Then x = 75/2.
Ratio is 75/2: 175/2 = 3/7.

18.(e)
As per the question, x = 1/y² and z = y³, so ratio of x/z = 1/y^5 = 1/243

19.(a)
In alloy M, silver is 3/5 * 40 = 24 kg.
In alloy N silver is 1/5*100 = 20 kg,
Total silver content in new mixture is 44 kg,
Ratio of silver to gold in new mixture is 44/96 = 11/24.

20.(d)
Let the numbers be x and y, x*y/x-y = 45/2.
Since no other data is given
We cannot calculate HCF and LCM so data inadequate.

21.(c)
Initial investment = 12:17, after increase investment = 12:17,
We cannot calculate the profit ratio as no other information is given regarding profit received by him.

22.(a)
Given, a/a+2 = 14/27, then two consecutive odd number = 28/13, 54/13
Ratio = 26/13: 82/13 = 13:41.

23.(b)
20% of literate boys = illiterate girls
And literate girls = 1/5 * illiterate boys
Ratio of total boys and total girls = 5:1

24.(b)
Let the three girls be a, b and c,
Then a+b+c = 25*3
After 15 years a+b+c = 120
And their ratio of age after 15 year is given as 3:5:7,
So on using above data we get age of youngest girl = 24.

25.(d)
According to the question,
10/100x = 45/100y so x/y = 9/2
Also 35/100y = 12/100z,
And y/z =12/35
So x: y: z = 54:12:35

26.(a)
Let the three containers contain 3x, 4x and 5x litres of mixtures respectively
Milk and water in 1st mixtures is 12x/5 and 3x/5 litres.
Similarly milk and water in 2nd mixture is 3x and x.
And milk and water in 3rd mixture is 25x/7 and 10x/7 litres.
Total milk in final mixture = 314x/35 litres.
Total water in final mixture = 106x/35 litres.
Ratio of water milk to water = 157:53.

27.(d)
Let the 20 rupees note be x and 10 rupees note be y.
From the question it is known that x+y = 14
And 2x + y =23.
X =9 and y= 5.
Ratio is 5/9.

28.(b)
Ratio of A, B & C is 7:8:16.
Difference of A and C is 9x.
As per the question 9x = 27, x = 3.
Total money = 31 * 3 = 93.

29.(e)
Efficiency of A: Efficiency of B: Efficiency of C = ½:1/3:1/4 = (6:4:3)/12
So ratio is 6:4:3.

30.(c)
By using chain rule
27*8*80 = x*45*16.
Then x= 24 times.

31.(c)
½ of white mice = 1/8 of total mice
And 1/3 of grey mice = 1/9 of total mice.
White mice/grey mice = ¼: 1/3 = 3:4

32.(d)
Saving = income-expenditure
More data is needed to answer the question.

33. (d)
Rs. 50 is to be divided in the ratio of their efficiency,
Efficiency of A: efficiency of B = ½:1/3 = 3:2/6 = 3:2.

34.(c)
Ship submerged weight: exposed weight = 2/5: 3/5 = 2:3.

35.(c)
From all the options, option (c) cannot be the ratio as 2+3 = 5 is not a factor of 12.
