Ratio:-Ratio is a comparison
between two quantities in same unit by
using division.
Ratio of two values x and y is written as x:y or x/y or x to y.
Type of ratio:-
(1).Duplicate ratio:-The ratio of square of two numbers is called duplicate ratio.
The duplicate ratio of x and y is x2/y2.
(2)Triplicate ratio:-The ratio of cube of two numbers is called triplicate ratio.
The triplicate ratio of x and y is x3/y3.
(3).Sub duplicate ratio:-The ratio of square root of two numbers is called sub duplicate ratio.
The sub duplicate ratio of x and y is √x/√y.
(4) Sub triplicate ratio:-The ratio of cube root of two numbers is called sub triplicate ratio.
The sub triplicate ratio of x and y is ∛x/∛y.
(5) Inverse ratio:-The ratio between the
reciprocals of two quantities is called inverse ratio.
The inverse ratio of x and y is y/x.
(6) Compound ratio:-The product of two or
more ratios; thus xz:yw is a ratio compounded
of the simple ratios x:y and z:w.
Proportion:-Proportion is the equality of two ratio.
If a:b=c:d we write a:b::c:d.
Product of means = Product of extremes
⟹ad = bc
Type of Proportion:-
(1).Fourth Proportional:-If a:b = c:d then d is called fourth proportional.
(2).Third Proportional:-If a:b = b:c then b is called third proportional.
(3).Mean Proportional:-If a:x = x:b then x is called third proportional.
It can also written as x =√(ab)
(3).Componendo and Dividendo rule:-If a:b = c:d
Then (a+b)/(a-b)=(c+d)/(c-d) is componendo and dividendo rule.
Example 1.:-If a:b = 5:7 and b:c = 6:11 then find a:b:c.
Explanation:- a : b : c
Explanation:- a : b : c
5 7
6 11
6 11
a : b : c
5*6 7*6
6*7 11*7
30 42 77
Hence a:b:c = 30:42:77
Example 2.:-Find the fourth proportional to the numbers 60,48,30.
Explanation:- Let fourth proportional is x.
⟹ 60:48::30:x
As Product of means = Product of extremes
⟹ 60*x = 48*30
⟹ x = 48*30/60 = 24
Hence fourth proportional is 24.
Example 3.:-Find the third proportional to the numbers 16,36.
Explanation:- Let third proportional is x.
Thus 16:36::36:x
As Product of means = Product of extremes
⟹ 16*x = 36*36
⟹ x = 36*36/16 = 81
Hence third proportional is 81.
Example 4.:-If 76 is divided into four parts proportional to 7,5,3,4.
Then find the smallest part.
Explanation:- Given ratio =7:5:3:4.
Sum f the ratio is 19
Smallest part is (3/19)*76
= 12
Hence smallest part is 12.
Example 5.:-A bag contain 50 paise,25 paise,10 paise coins in the ratio 5:9:4.
Amounting to be Rs. 206 Find the number of coin of 50 paise.
Explanation:- Let the number of 50 paise,25 paise,10 paise coins be 5x:9x:4x.
We know value of 50 paise coin is Rs. 0.5
value of 25 paise coin is Rs. 0.25
value of 10 paise coin is Rs. 0.1
Then 5x*0.5 + 9x*0.25 + 4x*0.1 = 206
2.5x + 2.25x + 0.4x = 206
5.15x = 206
x = 40
Hence the number of coin of 50 paise is 5*40 = 200
Example 6.:-The present ratio of ages of ages of two brothers is 4:5.
18 years ago their ages ratio was 11:16.Find the age of elder brother.
Explanation:- Let the present ages are 4x:5x
Now given
6*7 11*7
30 42 77
Hence a:b:c = 30:42:77
Example 2.:-Find the fourth proportional to the numbers 60,48,30.
Explanation:- Let fourth proportional is x.
⟹ 60:48::30:x
As Product of means = Product of extremes
⟹ 60*x = 48*30
⟹ x = 48*30/60 = 24
Hence fourth proportional is 24.
Example 3.:-Find the third proportional to the numbers 16,36.
Explanation:- Let third proportional is x.
Thus 16:36::36:x
As Product of means = Product of extremes
⟹ 16*x = 36*36
⟹ x = 36*36/16 = 81
Hence third proportional is 81.
Example 4.:-If 76 is divided into four parts proportional to 7,5,3,4.
Then find the smallest part.
Explanation:- Given ratio =7:5:3:4.
Sum f the ratio is 19
Smallest part is (3/19)*76
= 12
Hence smallest part is 12.
Example 5.:-A bag contain 50 paise,25 paise,10 paise coins in the ratio 5:9:4.
Amounting to be Rs. 206 Find the number of coin of 50 paise.
Explanation:- Let the number of 50 paise,25 paise,10 paise coins be 5x:9x:4x.
We know value of 50 paise coin is Rs. 0.5
value of 25 paise coin is Rs. 0.25
value of 10 paise coin is Rs. 0.1
Then 5x*0.5 + 9x*0.25 + 4x*0.1 = 206
2.5x + 2.25x + 0.4x = 206
5.15x = 206
x = 40
Hence the number of coin of 50 paise is 5*40 = 200
Example 6.:-The present ratio of ages of ages of two brothers is 4:5.
18 years ago their ages ratio was 11:16.Find the age of elder brother.
Explanation:- Let the present ages are 4x:5x
Now given
(4x-18)/(5x-18) = 11/16
64x-288 = 55x-198
9x = 90
x = 10
64x-288 = 55x-198
9x = 90
x = 10
Hence the present age of elder brother is 5x = 5*10 = 50.
