Question 61.


Shekhar made 96 runs in 6 overs while Nitish made 102 runs in 6 overs. Then pick the correct statement.


  1.     Shekhar's run rate was 16 runs per over
  2.     Nitish's run rate was 15 runs per over
  3.     Nitish's run rate was lesser than that of Shekhar
  4.     Shekhar's run rate was 26 runs per over
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Shekhar's run rate was 26 runs per over
:
D

Shekhar's run rate = 966=16 runs per over .
Nitish's run rate = 1026=17 runs per over .​​​​​
​​​​​​​
Hence Nitish's run rate is greater than that of Shekhar.


Question 62.


If a dozen of bananas cost ₹ 24, while 10 apples cost ₹ 100, then how many times an apple is costlier than a banana?


  1.     Three times
  2.     Four times
  3.     Five times
  4.     They have the same price
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Five times
:
C

The cost of 12 bananas = ₹ 24,
So, the cost of one banana =
 2412= 2
The cost of 10 apples = ₹ 100,
So, the cost of one apple =
 10010= 10
Therefore, the ratio of the cost of an apple to that of a banana = ₹ 10 : ₹ 2 = 5 : 1.
So, an apple is five times costlier than a banana.


Question 63.


The length of a rope is 2 m and its diameter is 1 mm. Find the ratio of length of the rope to its diameter.


  1.     200:1
  2.     2000:1
  3.     1:2000
  4.     2:1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2000:1
:
B

The ratio is the method of comparison between two similar quantities having the same unit.
Length = 2 m = 2000 mm and diameter = 1 mm 
Hence ratio of the length of rope to its diameter is
20001 =2000:1


Question 64.


The cost of 20 envelopes is 50. How many envelopes can be purchased for 10?


  1.     1
  2.     2
  3.     3
  4.     4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 4
:
D

The cost of 20 envelopes = 50.
The cost of one envelope
 =5020
=
2.5
One envelope costs
2.5.
So, for
10,  the number of  envelopes that can be purchased is equal to 102.5=4


Question 65.


Find the fourth proportion to 1.2, 1.6 and 7.2.


  1.     9.6
  2.     6.9
  3.     5.4
  4.     2.6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2.6
:
D

Let the fourth proportion be x.
Then, 1.2, 1.6, 7.2, x are in proportion.
Product of means = Product of extremes
1.6×7.2=x×1.2
 1.2x=1.6×7.2
 x=1.6×7.21.2
 x=9.6


Question 66.


The method of finding the value of required number of units after calculating the value of one unit, is known as:


  1.     Ratio method
  2.     Proportion method
  3.     Unitary method
  4.     Percantage method
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Unitary method
:
C

The unitary method is a method in which we find the value of one unit (by division) and calculate the value of multiple units using the single unit (by multiplication). 


Question 67.


Ratio is a method of comparison of similar quantities by using ________.


  1.     addition
  2.     multiplication
  3.     subtraction
  4.     division
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> division
:
D

The ratio is a method in which we compare the two similar quantities by dividing them and check how much one value contains or is contained within the other.


Question 68.


Present age of a grandfather is 72 years, while his grandson's age is 12 years. After 8 years, ratio of grandfather's age to grandson's age would be ____.


  1.     6:1
  2.     5:1
  3.     4:1
  4.     9:1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 4:1
:
C

Grandfather's present age is 72 years.
Grandson's present age is 12 years.
After 8 years,
grandfather's age would be 72 + 8 = 80 years
and grandson's age would be 12 + 8 = 20 years.
So, after 8 years, the ratio of grandfather's age to grandson's age  would be 8020=41=4:1.


Question 69.


A father wants to divide ₹ 1800 among his sons in the ratio of their ages. If one son is 12 years old and the other is 15 years old, then their respective shares would be


  1.     ₹ 800, ₹ 1000
  2.     ₹ 500, ₹ 700
  3.     ₹ 300, ₹ 600
  4.     ₹ 1200, ₹ 1500
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ₹ 800, ₹ 1000
:
A

The ratio of their ages is 12 : 15 or 4 : 5.
So, the money has to be divided in the ratio 4 : 5.
Let the shares be 4x and 5x respectively.
Now, 4x+5x=9x
Thus, 9x=1800x=200
Hence, the share for the 12 year old son is
4x = 4×200  = ₹ 800
The share for the 15 year old son is
5x = 5×200  = ₹ 1000


Question 70.


The ratio of areas of a circular and rectangular field is 1:2. Find the area of the rectangular field if the area of a circular field is 50 m2.


  1.     25 m2
  2.     50 m2
  3.     100 m2
  4.     75 m2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 100 m2
:
C

The ratio of areas of a circular and rectangular field is 1:2, which implies that the area of the rectangular field is twice the area of the circular field.
Given, area of circular field is 50 m2.
Area of the rectangular field
        =2×50=100 m2
