MATHS IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

Important Questions

i
Question 1.
Find the ratio of:

rth
(a) 5 km to 400 m
(b) 2 hours to 160 minutes
Solution:
(a) 5 km = 5 × 1000 = 5000 m
Ratio of 5 km to 400 m
= 5000 m : 400 m
= 25 : 2
Required ratio = 25 : 2
ya
(b) 2 hours = 2 × 60 = 120 minutes
Ratio of 2 hours to 160 minutes
= 120 : 160
=3:4
Required ratio = 3 : 4

Question 2.
State whether the following ratios are equivalent or not?
id
(a) 2 : 3 and 4 : 5
(b) 1 : 3 and 2 : 6
Solution:
(a) Given ratios = 2 : 3 and 4 : 5

Hence 2 : 3 and 4 : 5 are not equivalent ratios.


eV

(b) Given ratios = 1 : 3 and 2 : 6


LCM of 3 and 6 = 6

Hence, 1 : 3 and 2 : 6 are equivalent ratios.

Question 3.
Express the following ratios in simplest form:
(a) 615 : 213
(b) 42 : 56
Solution:

rth
Question 4.
Compare the following ratios:
3 : 4, 5 : 6 and 3 : 8
Solution:
ya
Given: 3 : 4, 5 : 6 and 3 : 8
or 34 , 56 and 38
LCM of 4, 6 and 8 = 24
id
eV

Hence, 3 : 8 < 3 : 4 < 5 : 6


Question 5.
State whether the following ratios are proportional or not:
(i) 20 : 45 and 4 : 9
(ii) 9 : 27 and 33 : 11
Solution:
(i) 20 : 45 and 4 : 9

https://www.evidyarthi.in/
Product of extremes = 20 × 9 = 180
Product of means = 45 × 4 = 180
Here, the product of extremes = Product of
means
Hence, the given ratios are in proportion.
(ii) 9 : 27 and 33 : 11
Product of extremes = 9 × 11 = 99

i
Product of means = 27 × 33 = 891
Here, the product of extremes ≠ Product of

rth
means
Hence, the given ratios are not in proportion.

Question 6.
24, 36, x are in continued proportion, find the value of x.
Solution:
Since, 24, 36, x are in continued proportion.
24 : 36 :: 36 : x
⇒ 24 × x = 36 × 36
⇒ x = 54
Hence, the value of x = 54.
ya
Question 7.
Find the mean proportional between 9 and 16.
Solution:
Let x be the mean proportional between 9 and 16.
id
9 : x :: x : 16
⇒ x × x = 9 × 16
⇒ x2 = 144
⇒ x = √144 = 12
Hence, the required mean proportional = 12.
Question 8.
eV

Find:
(i) 36% of 400
(ii) 1623% of 32
Solution:

Question 9.
Find a number whose 614% is 12.
Solution:

https://www.evidyarthi.in/
Let the required number be x.

Hence, the required number = 192.


Question 10.
What per cent of 40 kg is 440 g?
Solution:

i
Let x% of 40 kg = 440 g

rth
Hence, the required Percentage = 1.1%
ya
id
eV
