Question 41. If x:32 and 4:16 are equivalent ratio, then find the value of x. [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Solution: 1 Mark
Since x:32and 4:16are equivalent ratios,
we can write,x32=416
x=4×3216
Solving for x we get:
x=8
Question 42. Find the ratio of areas of two circles if they have a radius as 5 and 3 respectively. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Area of first circle
A1=πr2=π52
Area of second circle
A2=πr2=π32
Ratio of the area of two circles:
π52:π32=25:9
Question 43. In an examination which has questions of 100 marks, Aamir scores 54 marks while Usha loses 34 marks in her paper. The ratio of the marks of Aamir to that of Usha is same as that of the marks obtained by Preeti and Kunal. If Preeti scored 72 marks, how much did Kunal score? [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Marks scored by Aamir = 54
Marks scored by Usha = 100 - 34 = 66
The ratio of the marks of Aamir to Usha = 54 : 66 = 9 : 11
Marks scored by Preeti = 72
Let the marks scored by Kunal be x.
72:x=9:11
72x=911
x72=119
x=72×119=8×11
x=88
Marks obtained by Kunal is 88.
Question 44. In a class, there are 100 students, 45 students have chosen volleyball and 25 students have chosen football and the remaining have chosen tennis. Find: 
(a) The ratio of the number of students in volleyball to the number of students in football and
(b) The ratio of students in volleyball to that in tennis. [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Each option: 1 Mark
Total number of students in volleyball= 45
Total number of students in football = 25
Total number of students in tennis = 100 - (45 + 25) = 30
(a) The ratio of number of students in Volleyball to number of students in football = 45 : 25 = 9 : 5
(b) The ratio of number of students in Volleyball to number of students in tennis = 45 : 30 = 3 : 2
Question 45. Raj and Alisha start walking to school at the same time every morning. The ratio of the distance of Raj's house to the school and Alisha's house to the school is 13 : 17. If they both reach school at the same time, then the ratio of the walking speed of Raj and Alisha is? [4 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Steps: 3 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Let the speed of Raj and Alisha be S1 and S2 respectively.
The ratio of the distance of raj's house to the school and Alisha's house to the school =D1D2=1317
Since the time is same, time = T
The ratio of walking speed of Raj and Alisha
=S1S2
S1S2=D1.TD2.T=1317
Ratio of walking speedof Raj and Alisha is 13 : 17
Question 46.

Question 48.


In a class, there are 100 students, 45 students have chosen volleyball and 25 students have chosen football and the remaining have chosen tennis. Find: 
(a) The ratio of the number of students in volleyball to the number of students in football and
(b) The ratio of students in volleyball to that in tennis. [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each option: 1 Mark
Total number of students in volleyball= 45
Total number of students in football  = 25
Total number of students in tennis = 100 - (45 + 25) = 30
(a) The ratio of number of students in Volleyball to number of students in football = 45 : 25 = 9 : 5
(b) The ratio of number of students in Volleyball to number of students in tennis = 45 : 30 = 3 : 2


Question 49.


(a) The ratio of 20 minutes to 2 hrs.
(b) Find x if 5:4::125:x
[2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each Option: 1 Mark
(a) 2 hrs=60×2=120 minutes   (1 hr = 60 minute)
Ratio of 20 minutes to 2 hrs = 20:120 =1:6
[ Remember that for taking ratio unit of both quantities should be same ]
(b) 5:4::125:x54=125x
54=125x
45=x125
x=125×45=25×4
x=100


Question 50.


Look at the figure and find the ratio of :  
Look At The Figure And Find The Ratio Of :  (a) The Number ...
(a) The number of triangles to the number of stars in the rectangle.
(b)  The number of rhombus to the total number of figures in the rectangle. [4 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Observing correct number of figures: 1 Mark each
Correct ratio in simplest form: 1 Mark each
a) Number of triangles = 6
    Number of stars = 4
Ratio of the number of triangles to the number of stars = 6 : 4 = 3 : 2
b)  Number of rhombi =6 
     Total number of figures = 16
Ratio of the number of rhombus to the total number of figures
= 6 : 16 = 3 : 8
