FellowBuddy.com is an innovative platform that brings students together to share notes, exam papers, study guides, project reports and presentation for upcoming exams.
We connect Students who have an understanding of course material with Students who need help.
Benefits:-
# Students can catch up on notes they missed because of an absence.
# Underachievers can find peer developed notes that break down lecture and study material in a way that they can understand
# Students can earn better grades, save time and study effectively
Our Vision & Mission – Simplifying Students Life
Our Belief – “The great breakthrough in your life comes when you realize it, that you can learn anything you need to learn; to accomplish any goal that you have set for yourself. This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.”

3. Proportion
• An equality of two ratio is called a proportion / Four
quantities a, b, c, d are said to in the proportion if a : b = c : d
(also written as a : b :: c : d) i.e. a/b = c/d i.e. if ad = bc.
• The term a and d are called extremes, the term b and c are
called the means. The fourth term d is called the fourth
proportional of a, b and c taken in order.
• If a:b :: b:c, then a, b, c are called in continued proportion, b
is called the mean proportional between a and c and c is
called the third proportional of a and b.

11. Properties - Sum of antecedents to
the Sum of consequents - Continued
Hence, each (a + c + e + ….) : (b + d + f …….) is equal to
each ratio
or
In words - If any number of ratios be equals to one another,
then each of these ratio is equal to ratio of the sum of
antecedents to the sum of consequents

The price of a scooter and a moped are in the ratio 9 : 5. If
a scooter costs Rs. 6800 more than a moped, the price of
scooter is?
(a) Rs. 17,000 (b) Rs. 13600 (c) Rs. 15300 (d) None of
these
Solution
Scooter : Moped = 9 : 5
Let cost of scooter is 9x and cost of moped is 5x.

A sum of Rs. 9300 is divided among A,B and C in such a
way that share of A and B are in the ratio of 1 : 3 and those
of B and C are in the ratio 4 : 5. The amount received by C
is
(a) 1200 (b) 3600 (c) 4500 (d) 5000
Solution
A : B = 1 : 3, B : C = 4 : 5
Multiplying terms of first ratio by 4 and second ratio by 3 we
get
A : B = 4 : 12, B : C = 12 : 15

If p : q = 1 : 3 and a : b = 4 : 3, then the value of
4pa + 3qb : 9pa + 4qb is
(a) 41 : 82 (b) 27 : 82 (c) 43 : 72 (d) None of these
Solution
p : q = 1 : 3 and a : b = 4 : 3

A man divides his property in such manner that his son’s
share to his wife’s share and wife’s share to his daughter’s
share are both in the ratio 3 : 1. If the daughter gets Rs.
10,000 less than the son, then the total worth of his
property is
(a) Rs. 16,250 (b) Rs. 18,250 (c) Rs. 15,250 (d) Rs.
21,250
Solution
Let a = Son’s share ;
b= Wife’s Share;
c=Daughter’s share

The sum of the ages of 3 persons is 150 years. 10 years
ago their ages were in the ratio 7 : 8 : 9. Their present ages
are
(a) (45,50,55) (b) (40,60,50) (c) (35,45,70) (d) None of
these
Solution
Let the ages of the three persons 10 years ago be 7x, 8x
and 9x.
Their present ages will be 7x+10, 8x+10 and 9x+10
38
39. Illustration – 29 – Continued
The sum of their present ages is
7x + 10 + 8x + 10 + 9x + 10 = 150
24x =150 – 30
24 x = 120
x = 5
Therefore present ages are 7X5+10, 8X5+10, 9X5+10
(45, 50, 55)
