(B) 2 : 3
(C) 4 : 3
(D) 3 : 4
Answer:
(B) 2 : 3

iv. 24 bananas were distributed between Shubham


and Anil in the ratio 3 : 5, then how many bananas
did Shubham get?
(A) 8
(B) 15
(C) 12
(D) 9
Answer:
(D) 9

v. What is the mean proportional of 4 and 25?


(A) 6
(B) 8
(C) 10
(D) 12
Answer:
(C) 10

Hints:
i . 65=y20
∴ y=6×205=24
ii. 1mm1cm=1mm10mm=110=1:10
iii. Age of Nitin Age of Mohasin =2436=12×212×3
23 = 2 : 3
iv. 3x + 5x = 24
∴ 8x = 24
∴x=3
∴ Number of bananas with Shubham = 3x = 9

v. x2 = 4 x 25
∴ x2 = 100
∴ x = 10

Question 2.
For the following numbers write the ratio of
first number to second number in the reduced
form.
i. 21,48
ii. 36,90
iii. 65,117
iv. 138,161
v. 114,133
Solution:
i. 21,48
Ratio =2148=3×73×16=716=7:16

ii. 36,90
Ratio =3690=18×218×5=25=2:5

iii. 65,117
Ratio =65117=13×513×9=59=5:9

iv. 138,161
Ratio =138161=23×623×7=67=6:7

v. 114,133
Ratio =114113=19×619×7=67=6:7

Question 3.
Write the following ratios in the reduced form.
i. Radius to the diameter of a circle.
ii. The ratio of diagonal to the length of a
rectangle, having length 4 cm and breadth 3 cm.
iii. The ratio of numbers denoting perimeter to
area of a square, having side 4 cm.

Solution:
i. Radius to the diameter of a circle.
Let radius of the circle be r
then, diameter = 2 x radius = 2r
Ratio of radius to diameter of circle

∴ Ratio of radius to diameter of circle is 1 : 2.

ii. The ratio of diagonal to the length of a


rectangle, having length 4 cm and breadth 3 cm.

Let □ ABCD be a rectangle.


In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 … [Pythagoras theorem]
= 42 + 32 = 16 + 9
∴ AC2 = 25
AC = 5 … [Taking square root on both side]
The ratio of diagonal to the length of a rectangle
= ACAB
= 54
=5:4
∴ The ratio of diagonal to the length of a rectangle
is 5 : 4
iii. The ratio of numbers denoting perimeter to
area of a square, having side 4 cm. side of square
= 4cm
Perimeter of square = 4 x side = 4 x 4 = 16 cm
Area of square = (side)2 = (4)2 = 16 cm2
Ratio of numbers denoting perimeter to area of
square

∴ The ratio of numbers denoting perimeter to area


of a square is 1 : 1.

Question 4.
Check whether the following numbers are in
continued proportion.
i. 2, 4, 8
ii. 1, 2, 3
iii. 9, 12, 16
iv. 3, 5, 8
Solution:
If a, b, c are in continued proportion then b2 = ac.
i. 2, 4, 8
Let, a = 2, b = 4 and c = 8
Here, b2 = 42 = 16
ac = 2 x 8 = 16
∴ b2 = ac
∴ 2, 4,8 are in continued proportion.

ii. 1, 2, 3
Let, a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3
Here, b2 = 22 = 4
ac = 1 x 3 = 3
∴ b2 ≠ ac
∴ 1, 2,3 are not in continued proportion.

iii. 9, 12, 16
Let, a = 9, b = 12 and c = 16
Here, b2 = 122 = 144
ac = 9 x 16 = 144
∴ b2 = ac
∴ 9, 12, 16 are in continued proportion.

iv. 3, 5, 8
Let, a = 3, b = 5 and c = 8
Here, b2 = 52 = 25
ac = 3 x 8 = 24
∴ b2 ≠ ac
∴ 3, 5, 8 are not in continued proportion.

Question 5.
a, b, c are in continued proportion. If a = 3 and
c = 27, then find b.
Solution:
a, b, c are in continued proportion. …[Given]
∴ b2 = ac
∴ b2 = 3 x 27 …[∵ a = 3 and c = 27]
∴ b2 = 81
∴ b = 9 …[Taking square root of both sides]
Question 6.
Convert the following ratios into percentages.

Solution:
i. Let 37 : 500 = x%

∴
37 : 500 = 7.4%
Question 7.
Write the ratio of first quantity to second
quantity in the reduced form.
i. 1024 MB, 1.2 GB [(1024 MB = 1GB)]
ii. ₹ 17, ₹ 25 and 60 paise
iii. 5 dozen, 120 units
iv. 4 sq.m, 800 sq.cm
v. 1.5 kg, 2500 gm

Solution:
i. 1024 MB, 1.2 GB
1024 MB = 1 GB

ii. ₹ 17, ₹ 25 and 60 paise


₹ 17 = 17 x 100 paise = 1700 paise
₹ 25 and 60 paise = (25x 100) paise + 60 paise
= (2500 + 60) paise= 2560 paise

iii. 5 dozen, 120 units


5 dozen = 5 x 12 units = 60 units

iv. 4 sq.m, 800 sq.cm


4 sq.m = 4 x 10000 sq.cm = 40000 sq.cm
v. 1.5 kg, 2500 gm
1.5 kg = 1.5 x 1000 gm = 1500gm
