RATIO AND PROPORTION MCQs
:
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

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

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.
(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]
:
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

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

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:x⇒54=125x
⇒54=125x
⇒45=x125
⇒x=125×45=25×4
⇒x=100

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
