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.

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.

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

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

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

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).
:
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.

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.
:
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=1800⟹x=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

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
