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: 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: 12 : 35
Explanation:
Given that, a/b = 3/5, b/c = 4/7
? a/c = a/b x b/c = 3/5 x 4/7 = 12/ 35
&there4: a : c = 12 : 35
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: 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
Correct Answer: 9 : 80
Explanation:
Given that 0.8 x A = 0.09 x B
? A/B = 0.09/0.8 = 9/80
? A : B = 9 :80
Correct Answer: 15 : 10 : 6
Explanation:
Let 1/x = 2K, 1/y = 3K and 1/z = 5K
Then, x = K/2, Y = K/3 and z = K/5
? x : y : z = K/2 : K/3 : K/4
= 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/5
= 15 : 10 : 6
Correct Answer: 3 : 8
Explanation:
Let a/3 = b/8 = K
Then, a = 3K, b = 8K
? (a + 3) / (b + 8) = (3K + 3) / (8K + 8)
= [3( K + 1)] / [8(K+1)] = 3/8
? ( a + 3 ) : (b + 8) = 3 : 8
