If x: y = 3: 5, find the ratio 3x + 4y: 8x + 5y Solution: Given x: y = 3: 5 We can write above equation as x/y = 3/5 5x = 3y x = 3y/5 By substituting the value of x in given equation 3x + 4y: 8x + 5y we get, 3x + 4y: 8x + 5y = 3 (3y/5) + 4y: 8 (3y/5) + 5y = (9y + 20y)/5: (24y + 25y)/5 = 29y/5: 49y/5 = 29y: 49y = 29: 49 2. If x: y = 8: 9, find the ratio (7x – 4y): 3x + 2y. Solution: Given x: y = 8: 9 We can write above equation as x/y = 8/9 9x = 8y x = 8y/9 By substituting the value of x in the given equation (7x – 4y): 3x + 2y we get, (7x – 4y): 3x + 2y = 7 (8y/9) – 4y: 3 (8y/9) + 2y = (56y – 36y)/9: 42y/9 = 20y/9: 42y/9 = 20y: 42y = 20: 42 = 10: 21 3. If two numbers are in the ratio 6: 13 and their L.C.M is 312, find the numbers. Solution: Given two numbers are in the ratio 6: 13 Let the required number be 6x and 13x The LCM of 6x and 13x is 78x = 78x = 312 x = (312/78) x = 4 Thus the numbers are 6x = 6 (4) = 24 13x = 13 (4) = 52 4. Two numbers are in the ratio 3: 5. If 8 is added to each number, the ratio becomes 2:3. Find the numbers. Solution: Let the required numbers be 3x and 5x Given that if 8 is added to each other then ratio becomes 2: 3 That is 3x + 8: 5x + 8 = 2: 3 (3x + 8)/ (5x + 8) = 2/3 3 (3x + 8) = 2 (5x + 8) 9x + 24 = 10x + 16 By transposing 24 – 16 = 10x – 9x x = 8 Thus the numbers are 3x = 3 (8) = 24 And 5x = 5 (8) = 40 5. What should be added to each term of the ratio 7: 13 so that the ratio becomes 2: 3 Solution: Let the number to be added is x Then (7 + x)/ (13 + x) = (2/3) (7 + x) 3 = 2 (13 + x) 21 + 3x = 26 + 2x 3x – 2x = 26 – 21 x = 5 Hence the required number is 5 6. Three numbers are in the ratio 2: 3: 5 and the sum of these numbers is 800. Find the numbers Solution: Given that three numbers are in the ratio 2: 3: 5 and sum of them is 800 Therefore sum of the terms of the ratio = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 First number = (2/10) × 800 = 2 × 80 = 160 Second number = (3/10) × 800 = 3 × 80 = 240 Third number = (5/10) × 800 = 5 × 80 = 400 The three numbers are 160, 240 and 400 7. The ages of two persons are in the ratio 5: 7. Eighteen years ago their ages were in the ratio 8: 13. Find their present ages. Solution: Let present ages of two persons be 5x and 7x Given ages of two persons are in the ratio 5: 7 And also given that 18 years ago their ages were in the ratio 8: 13 Therefore (5x – 18)/ (7x – 18) = (8/13) 13 (5x – 18) = 8 (7x – 18) 65x – 234 = 56x – 144 65x – 56x = 234 – 144 9x = 90 x = 90/9 x = 10 Thus the ages are 5x = 5 (10) = 50 years And 7x = 7 (10) = 70 years 8. Two numbers are in the ratio 7: 11. If 7 is added to each of the numbers, the ratio becomes 2: 3. Find the numbers. Solution: Let the required numbers be 7x and 11x If 7 is added to each of them then (7x + 7)/ (11x + 7) = (2/3) 3 (7x + 7) = 2 (11x + 7) 21x + 21 = 22x + 14 22x – 21x = 21 – 14 x = 21 – 14 = 7 Thus the numbers are 7x = 7 (7) =49 And 11x = 11 (7) = 77 9. Two numbers are in the ratio 2: 7. 11 the sum of the numbers is 810. Find the numbers. Solution: Given two numbers are in the ratio 2: 7 And their sum = 810 Sum of terms in the ratio = 2 + 7 = 9 First number = (2/9) × 810 = 2 × 90 = 180 Second number = (7/9) × 810 = 7 × 90 = 630 10.
