If A:B:C = 2:3:4, then find

\begin{aligned}
\frac{A}{B}:\frac{B}{C}:\frac{C}{A}

\end{aligned}

  • 5:9:24
  • 6:9:24
  • 7:9:24
  • 8:9:24

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let A = 2x, B = 3x, C = 4x, then,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{A}{B} = \frac{2x}{3x} = \frac{2}{3} \\
\frac{B}{C} = \frac{3x}{4x} = \frac{3}{4} \\
\frac{C}{A} = \frac{4x}{2x} = \frac{2}{1} \\

=> \frac{A}{B}:\frac{B}{C}:\frac{C}{A} \\
= \frac{2}{3}:\frac{3}{4}:\frac{2}{1} \\
= 8:9:24


\end{aligned}

1. There are two numbers and their ratio is 3 : 9. If we substract 9 from both numbers then their ratio becomes 12 : 13, what is value is smaller number ?

  • 23
  • 27
  • 31
  • 33

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

From question, lets assume that two numbers are 3x and 5x.

\begin{aligned}
\text{then, }\frac{3x - 9}{ 5x - 9} = \frac{12}{23}\\
=> \text{23(3x - 9) = 12(5x - 9)}\\
=> 9x = 99 \\
=> x = 11
\end{aligned}
So numbers are 3(11) = 33, 5(11) = 55.
Smaller number is 33.

2. In a college, the ratio of the number of boys to girls is 8 : 5. If there are 200 girls, the total number of students in the college is

  • 420
  • 520
  • 620
  • 720

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the boy are 8x and Girls are 5x

=> 5x = 200
=> x = 40

Total students = 8x+5x = 13x = 13(40) = 520

3. If 40% of a number is equal to two-third of another number, what is the ratio of first number to the second number.

  • 2:5
  • 2:7
  • 5:7
  • 5:3

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the first number is A and second number is B.

As per question

\begin{aligned}
\frac{40}{100}A = \frac{2}{3}B \\

\frac{A}{B} = \frac{2}{3}*\frac{100}{40} \\
\frac{A}{B} = \frac{5}{3} \\
=> A:B = 5:3

\end{aligned}

4. The salaries of A, B and C are of ratio 2:3:5. If the increments of 15%, 10% and 20% are done to their respective salaries, then find the new ratio of their salaries.

  • 20:33:60
  • 21:33:60
  • 22:33:60
  • 23:33:60

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let A salary be 2k
B salary be 3k and C salary be 5k

\begin{aligned}
\text{A's new salary = }\frac{115}{100}*2k \\
= \frac{23}{10}k \\
\text{B's new salary = }\frac{110}{100}*3k \\
= \frac{33}{10}k \\
\text{C's new salary = }\frac{120}{100}*5k \\
= 6k \\

\text{New ratio = }\\
\frac{23k}{10}:\frac{33k}{10}:6k \\
= 23:33:60 \\
\end{aligned}

5. If 2 : 9 :: x : 18, then find the value of x

  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 6

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Treat 2:9 as 2/9 and x:18 as x/18, treat :: as =

So we get 2/9 = x/18
=> 9x = 36
=> x = 4
