C
The bus travels 500 km with 70 litres of petrol.
Hence, with one litre it can travel
50070 km.
∴ with 7 litres, the bus will cover a distance of
50070×7=50 km

C
The number of boys in the class is 30 and number of girls in the class is 60.
∴ Total number of students is equal to 30 + 60 = 90.
Ratio of number of boys to the total number of students is equal to 3090=30÷3090÷30=13=1:3

A and B
Equivalent or equal ratios form a proportion. So, the first two given options are equivalent as they are equal in their simplest forms.
Alternatively, if the numbers are in proportion, then the product of 1st and 4th term is equal to product of 2nd and 3rd term.
Here, in first option this is satisfied as 13×42=14×39=546
Also in second option 11×3=1×33=33
In third and fourth option the given condition is not satisfied.

B
As Utkarsh pays ₹ 7500 for three months.
His monthly rent is
75003=₹ 2500
Hence annually, he has to pay

2 m = 200 cm
Hence, the ratio of the length of the snake to crocodile would be
10200=120=1:20
:
B
Partnership is directly proportional to the amount invested. As amount invested increases patnership(profit) increases. Hence they are directly proportional.
:
