Question 51.


Anish made 42 runs in 6 overs and Anup made 63 runs in 7 overs. Who made more runs per over and what is the ratio of their total runs made?  [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Number of runs made by Anish in 6 overs
 = 42
Number of runs made by Anup in 7 overs
=  63
Number of runs made by Anish in 1 overs
= 426 = 7
Number of runs made by Anup in 1 overs
= 637 = 9
Therefore, Anup made more runs per over.
Ratio of their runs made
AnishAnup=4263=232:3


Question 52.


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
Answer: Option A. ->
:

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 53.


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
Answer: Option A. ->
:

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 speed of Raj and Alisha is 13 : 17


Question 54.


The ratio of the weights of Meenakshi to that of her friend Ankur is 13:15. Ankur now starts to exercise daily and loses 5 kg, and now the ratio of their weights is 13:14. How much does Ankur weigh now?


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Concept: 1 Mark
Application: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Solution: 1 Mark
Let x and y be the weight of Meenakshi and Ankur has respectively.
The ratio of the weights of Meenakshi to Ankur  = 13:15
After exercising, ratio of the weights of Meenakshi to Ankur = x :( y-5) = 13:14
Comparing both xy =  1315  and  xy5  =  1314 we get,
13y=15x..............(i) and
 14x=13(y5)
14x=13y65............(ii)
Substituting the value of (i) in (ii) we get,
14x=15x65.
x=65
Substitute the value of x in (i)
13y=15×65
y=15×5=75
But Ankur lost 5 kg 
Ankur's present weight is (y5)=(755)=70kg


Question 55.


Ravi and Rani started a business and invested money in the ratio 2 : 3. After one year the total profit was Rs 40,000. What are the shares of Ravi and Rani in the profit? [4 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Ravi' Share: 1 Mark
Rani's Share: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Let the share of Ravi and Rani be x and y respectively.
Total Profit = Rs. 40,000
Ratio of investment of Ravi to Rani = 2:3
Total parts of profit = 2+3 =5 
 


x=25×40000 = Rs. 16000


y=35×40000 = Rs. 24000


Share of Ravi in Profit is Rs. 16,000
Share of Rani in Profit is Rs. 24,000


Question 56.


A bag contains 2 pink, 3 red and 5 blue balls. Find the ratio of pink balls to the total number of balls.


  1.     5:1
  2.     1:5
  3.     10:2
  4.     2:10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1:5
:
B and D

Number of pink balls = 2 
Total number of balls = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
Ratio of pink balls to the total number of balls 
=2:10=210=15=1:5


Question 57.


If two quantities have different units then we can compare them by using the method of ratio.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

If two quantities have different units then we cannot compare them by the method of ratio. A ratio is a method of comparison of two similar quantities by using the method of division.


Question 58.


If two ratios are equal then we say that they are ___.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:

If two ratios are equal or equivalent then we say that they are in proportion.


Question 59.


The length of a table is 2 m and its breadth is 50 cm. Find the ratio of the length of the table to its breadth.


  1.     4:1
  2.     200:50
  3.     1:4
  4.     50:200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4:1
:
A and B

We know, to compare two quantities, the units must be the same.
So, here we either convert meter to a centimeter or vice-versa.
Given,
Length of the table = 2 m = 200 cm
Breadth = 50 cm
Hence, the required ratio
=200:50=20050=41=4:1


Question 60.


Which of the following ratios are in proportion?


  1.     2:3 and 4:5
  2.     4:5 and 12:15
  3.     3:1 and 9:1
  4.     3:4 and 6:4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4:5 and 12:15
:
B

Two ratios are said to be in proportion if they are equivalent or equal.
Here,
45=4×35×3=1215
Hence, 4 : 5 :: 12 : 15, are in proportion.
Also product of 1st and 4th term should be equal to product of 2nd and 3rd term, which is only satisfied by 4 : 5 :: 12 : 15, i.e.,
4×15=5×12=60.
For rest of them the product of 1st and 4th term is not equal to the product of 2nd and 3rd term.
