Correct Answer: 10 : 3
Explanation:
Req. ratio = (1/3 of Rs. 9.30) / (0.6 of Rs. 1.55)
= 3.10 / 0.93
= 310 / 93
= 10 / 3
Correct Answer: 3 : 4 : 5
Explanation:
? 1/3 A = 1/4, B = 1/5, C = x
Then, A = 3x, B = 4x and C = 5x
? A : B : C = 3x : 4x : 5x = 3 : 4 : 5
Correct Answer: 2.5
Explanation:
Given 1/5 : 1/N = 1/N : 1/1.25
? 1/5 x 1/1.25 = 1/N x 1/N
? N2 = 5 x 1.25 = 6.25
? N = 2.5
Correct Answer: 7 : 15
Explanation:
7 : 5 = 7/15 = 0.466
15 : 23 = 15/23 = 0.652
17 : 25 = 17/25 = 0.68
and 21 : 29 = 0.724
? The smallest one is 7 : 15.
Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
? 5 : 8 : : 40 : N
N = (40 x 8) / 5
? consequent N = 64
Correct Answer: 15 : 8
Explanation:
? 2A = 3B and 4B = 5C
? 8A = 12B and 12B = 15C
? 8A = 12B = 15C = x
? A = x/8, B = x/12, C = x/15
So, A : C = x/8 : x/15 = 15 : 8
Correct Answer: 6 : 4 : 3
Explanation:
Let 2A = 3B = 4C = x
Then A = x/2, B = x/3 and C = x/4
? A : B : C = x/2 : x/3 : x/4
Hence A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3
Correct Answer: 16 : 35
Explanation:
? A/D = (A/B) x (B/C) x (C/D) = (2/3) x (4/5) x (6/7) = 16/35
? A : D = 16 : 35
Correct Answer: 1 : 3 : 6
Explanation:
Let A = x
Then B = 3x, C = 2B = 6x
&there4 A : B : C = x : 3x : 6x = 1 : 3 : 6
Correct Answer: 30 : 42 : 77
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 7 and 6 is 42
? A : B = 5 : 7 = 30 : 42
and B : C = 6 : 11 = 42 : 77
Hence A : B : C = 30 : 42 : 77
