## Ratio and Proportion MCQ Question with Details Solution

Q1. If P:Q = 8:15 and Q:R = 3:2, then find P:Q:R.

(a) 8:15:7

(b) 7 : 15 : 8

(c) 8: 15: 10

(d) 10 : 15 : 8

(e) None of the above

 Answer: (c) 8: 15: 10Solution: P:Q = 8:15 and Q:R = 3:2 = 15:10Now P:Q:R= 8:15:10Using Trick-1:Using Trick-2:

Q2. If A : B = 6 : 7, B :  C = 8 : 9 and C :  D = 5 : 11 then the value of A : D = ?

(a) 80:251

(b) 90: 257

(c) 80: 253

(d) 75: 262

 Answer: (a) 80:251Solution: $\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{6}{7}, \frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{8}{9}\,\,\mathrm{and} \frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{D}}=\frac{5}{11}$Multiplying them$\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{B}}\times \frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{C}}\times \frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{D}}=\frac{6}{7}\times \frac{8}{9}\times \frac{5}{11}=\frac{80}{231}$∴ A:D = 80:231Using Trick:A:D = product of antecedent : product of consequent = 240:693 = 80:251

Q3. If A : B = 6 : 7, B :  C = 8 : 9 and C :  D = 10 : 11 then the value of A:B:C:D = ?

(a) 48 : 80 : 99

(b) 80 : 56 : 99

(c) 60 : 70 : 77

(d) 560 : 630 : 693

 Answer: (d) 560 : 630 : 693Solution:  First we made B same for first two ratio and C same for last two ratio.A : B = 6 : 7 = 6 × 8 × 10 : 7 × 8 × 10; B :  C = 8 : 9 = 8 × 7 × 10 : 9 ×7 ×10 ;C :  D = 10 : 11 = 10 × 7 × 9 : 11 × 7 × 9A : B : C : D = 6 × 8 × 10 : 7 × 8 × 10 : 9 ×7 ×10 : 11 × 7 × 9 = 480:560:630:693Using trick:

Q4. If A : B = 2: 3, B : C = 5: 7 and C : D = 3:10, then what is A : D equal to?

(a) 1 : 7

(b) 2 : 7

(c) 1 : 5

(d) 5 : 1

 Answer: (a) 1 : 7Solution: A : B = 2: 3, B : C = 5: 7 and C : D = 3:10∴ $\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{D}}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{B}}\times \frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{C}}\times \frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{D}}$= $\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{5}{7}\times \frac{3}{10}=\frac{1}{7}$∴ A:D = 1:7Using Trick:A:D = product of antecedent : product of consequent = 2×5×3:3×7×10 = 1:7

Q5. Find the 4th proportional to 4, 16 and 7.

(a) 28

(b) 29

(c) 22

(d) 25

(e) None of the above

 Answer: (a) 28 Solution: Let 4th proportional = x∴ $\frac{4}{16}=\frac{7}{\mathrm{x}}\,\,$⇒ 4x = 16×7⇒x = 28

Q6. Calculate the 3rd proportional to 15 and 30.

(a) 55

(b) 15

(c) 65

(d) 60

(e) None of the above

 Answer: (d) 60Solution: Let 3rd proportional = x∴ 15:30 :: 30: x⇒ $\frac{15}{30}=\frac{30}{\mathrm{x}}$⇒ 15x = 900 ⇒x = 60

Q7. Find the mean proportional between 9 and 64.

(a) 25

(b) 24

(c) 27

(d) 35

(e) None of the above

 Answer: (b) 24Solution: mean proportional = $\sqrt{9\times 64}=24$Mean Proportion – Let x be the mean proportion between a and b, then a:x::x:b (Real condition)i.e. $\frac{a}{x}=\frac{x}{b}\,\,or\,\,x^2=ab\,\,or\,\,x\,\,=\,\,\sqrt{ab}$∴ Mean proportional of a and b = $\sqrt{ab}$

Q8. What will be the inverse ratio of 17 : 19?

(a) 19 : 17

(b) 18 : 17

(c) 17 : 18

(d) 19 : 5

(e) None of the above

 Answer: (a) 19 : 17Solution: inverse ratio = 19 : 17

Q9. If 4a = 5b and 7b = 9c, then a: b: c is equal to

(a) 45 : 36 : 28

(b) 44 : 33 : 28

(c) 28 : 36 : 45

(d) 36 : 28 : 45

(e) None of the above

 Answer: (a) 45 : 36 : 28Solution: 4a = 5b ⇒ a : b = 5:4 and 7b = 9c ⇒b:c = 9:7

Q10. If $\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}:\frac{1}{\mathrm{b}}:\frac{1}{\mathrm{c}}=2:3:5$ then the value of a : b : c

(a) 6 : 15 : 10

(b) 3 : 15 : 10

(c) 15 : 3 : 10

(d) 15 : 10 : 6

 Answer: (d) 15 : 10 : 6Solution: Let ratio constant k$\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}:\frac{1}{\mathrm{b}}:\frac{1}{\mathrm{c}}=2:3:5$$\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}=2\mathrm{k}\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=\frac{1}{2\mathrm{k}}$$\frac{1}{\mathrm{b}}=3\mathrm{k}\Rightarrow \mathrm{b}=\frac{1}{3\mathrm{k}}$$\frac{1}{\mathrm{c}}=2\mathrm{k}\Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=\frac{1}{3\mathrm{k}}$a : b : c = $\frac{1}{2\mathrm{k}}:\frac{1}{3\mathrm{k}}:\frac{1}{5\mathrm{k}}=15:10:6$ = 5:3:2
