Ratio And Proportion

Definition of Ratio:

Comparison of two different quantities having the same units.

Types of Ratio:

Let us assume that, two numbers are ‘a’ and ‘b’.Then the ratio is a: b.

Therefore,

⦁ Duplicate ratio: a2: b2

⦁ Sub duplicate ratio:

⦁ Triplicate ratio: a3: b3

⦁ Sub triplicate ratio:

⦁ Inverse ratio:

⦁ If three different ratios are a: b, c : d and d: e

Compounded ratio:
Some important properties of ratio:

⦁ If in the ratio a/b, the numerator and the denominator are multiplied or divided by the same number then the value of the ratio remains the same.

Case 1: Multiplying numerator and denominator by same number x: Ratio = Thus, cancelling out x further results in the same ratio a/b.

Case 2: Dividing numerator and denominator by same number y: Ratio = Thus, cancelling out y further results in the same ratio a/b.

2. If p/q = r/s = t/u = v/w = m then m =
Comparison of two ratios: Suppose we have to compare two different ratios 12/17 and 13/11. Here to find which ratio is greater or lesser than the other, we use the cross multiplication method. Simply cross multiply the denominator to the numerator of another ratio.
(12×11) (13×17) = 132 221 Comparing we get 132 < 221 thus.

Proportion: If two ratios are equal then the 4 terms are called proportion. For example: = It can also be written as: a : b:: c : d Here terms a and d are called extremes and terms c and d are called means.
Types of Proportion: If the ratio is a: b

⦁ Mean proportion:

⦁ Third proportion:

⦁ If three numbers a, b and c are given then

Fourth proportion:

Note:

⦁ If a: b = 2 : 3 and b: c = 4: 5 Then

⦁ If a : b = 1 : 2, b : c = 3 : 4 and c : d = 2 : 3

⇒ a : b : c : d = 6 : 12 : 16 : 24

Example 1: If 2a = 3b = 4c = 5d then find a : b : c : d.

Solution:
2a = 3b = 4c = 5d = (60) = LCM of (2,3,4,5)

⇒ a : b : c : d = 30 : 20 : 15 : 12

Example 2: If a : (b + c) = 1 : 2 and b : (c + a) = 3 : 4 then find c : (a + b).

Solution:
In first case: a + (b + c) = 1 + 2 = 3
In second case: b + (c + a) = 3 + 4 = 7
Now multiplying first equation with 7 and Second equation with 3: a : (b + c) = 7 : 14 and b : (c + a) = 9 : 12 Thus, by comparison:
a = 7 b = 9
So, c = 21 – (7 + 9) = 5
Thus, c : (a + b) = 5 : 16
