Important Questions from Ratio and Proportion

1multiple choice
3 marks

A certain quantity of wheat is divided into two parts in the ratio 5:8. If the second part is 112 kg, what is the total quantity of wheat?

Show answer

182 kg

If 8 parts = 112 kg, then 1 part = 112 ÷ 8 = 14 kg. The first part is 5 × 14 = 70 kg. Total quantity = 70 + 112 = 182 kg.

2multiple choice

If A:B = 3:5 and B:C = 4:7, what is A:B:C?

Show answer

12:20:35

Make B the same in both ratios. Multiply 3:5 by 4 to get 12:20. Multiply 4:7 by 5 to get 20:35. So A:B:C = 12:20:35.

3multiple choice
3 marks

Find the mean proportional between 16 and 4.

Show answer

8

If b is the mean proportional between a and c, then b^2 = ac. Here a = 16 and c = 4. So b^2 = 16 × 4 = 64, hence b = 8.

4multiple choice
3 marks

Find the third proportional to 12 and 30.

Show answer

75

For third proportional, 12:30 = 30:x. Using cross multiplication, 12x = 30 × 30 = 900. So x = 900 ÷ 12 = 75.
