Correct Answer: a2 : c2
Explanation:
Given that a /b = b/c
? b2 = ac
? a4 : b4 = a4 : a2 c2 = a2 : c2
Correct Answer: 19 : 17
Explanation:
Required inverses ratio of 17 : 19 = (1/17) : (1/19) = 19 : 17
Correct Answer: 343 : 125
Explanation:
Required triplicate ratio of 7 : 5 = 73 : 53
= 343 : 125
Correct Answer: 9 : 8
Explanation:
Required sub - duplicate ratio of 81 : 64 = ?81 : ?64 = 9 : 8
Correct Answer: 4 : 49
Explanation:
Required duplicate ratio of
2 : 7 = 22 : 72 = 4 : 49
Correct Answer: 45 : 36 : 28
Explanation:
Given that 4a = 5b
? a/b = 5/4
Also 7b = 9c
? b/c = 9/7
? a : b = 5 : 4 = (5 x 9) : (4 x 9) = 45 : 36
and b : c = 9 : 7 = (9 x 4) : (7 x 4) = 36 : 28
? a : b : c = 45 : 36 : 28
Correct Answer: 7 : 9 : 11
Explanation:
Let a/7 = b/9 = c/11 = K
Then, a = 7K, b = 9K, c = 11K
? a : b : c = 7K : 9K : 11K = 7 : 9 : 11
Correct Answer: 2 : 3
Explanation:
Given that, 30 % of A = 20 % of B
? A/B = 20/30 = 2/3
? A : B = 2 : 3
Correct Answer: 8 : 9 : 24
Explanation:
Given that, P : Q : R = 2 : 3 : 4
Let P = 2K, Q = 3K, R = 4K
? P/Q = 2K/3K = 2/3,
Q/R = 3K/4K = 3/4,
R/P = 4K/2K = 2/1
? P/Q : Q/R : R/P = 2/3 : 3/4 : 2/1
= (2 x 12)/3 : (3 x 12)/ 4 : (2 x 12)/1
= (2 x 4) : (3 x 3) : 24
= 8 : 9 : 24
Correct Answer: 1 : 4 : 8
Explanation:
Given that, A = B/4
? A/B = 1/4 or A : B = 1 : 4
Also, B = C/2 or B/C = 1/2 or B : C = 1 :2
Now, we have A : B = 1 : 4; B : C = 1 : 2
A : B : C = ( 1 x 1 ) : ( 1 x 4 ) : ( 2 x 4 )
= 1 : 4 : 8
