  • 1. If X:Y = Y:Z = 1.5 and Z = 2, what is the value of X?
  • Here,

    Y:Z = 1.5

    or, Y/Z = 1.5

    or, Y/2=1.5 [Z=2]

    So, Y=1.5×2=3

    Now, X:Y = 1.5

    Or, X/Y = 3/2 [3/2=1.5]

    Or, X/3=3/2 [Y=3]

    Or, X=9/2=4.5

  • 2. Tk. 7,500 is divided in the ratio 1:2:3:4:5. Find the difference between highest and lowest value?
  • Here,

    Sum of ratios are = ( 1+2+3+4+5)=15

    Highest value = (5/15) × 7500 = 2500

    Lowest value =(1/15) × 7500= 500

    So, the difference =2500-500=2000

  • 23. The ratio of the number of boys and girls in a school is 3:2. If 20% of the boys and 25% of the girls are scholarship holders, what percent of the students are not scholarship holders?
  • The ratio of the number if boys and girls in a school is 3:2
    <pre>
    To change a ratio to two fractions, put each number, 3 and 2, over the sum of
    the two numbers 3+2, or 5. So the two fractions are {{{3/5}}} and {{{2/5}}}.

    That means {{{3/5}}}ths of the students are boys and {{{2/5}}}ths of the students are
    girls.

    Change those to percents:

    {{{3/5=60/100="60%"}}}, {{{2/5=40/100="40%"}}}

    So 60% of the students are boys and 40% of the students are girls.
    </pre>
    20% of the boys and 25% of the girls are scholarship holders
    <pre>
    That means 20% of 60% are boy scholarship holders and 25% of 40% are girl scholarship holders.

    Therefore:

    20% of 60% = (0.20)(0.60) = 0.12 = 12% of the students are boy scholarship
    holders, 

    and

    25% of 40% = (0.25)(0.40) = 0.10 = 10% of the students are girl scholarship
    holders.

  • 62. In what ratio must  a grocer mix two varieties of tea worth Tk. 60 a kg and Tk. 65 a kg so that by selling the mixture at Tk. 68.20 a kg he may gain 10%?
  • Let he mixes the tea in ratio x : y 
    Therefore the cost price = 60x + 65y
    and the selling price = 68.20(x + y)

    Profit = SP - CP
    So 10/100 (60x + 65y) = 68.20(x + y) - (60x + 65y)
    or 6x + 6.5y = 8.20x + 3.20y
    2.2x = 3.3y

  • 78. In a bag, there are coins of 25 p, 10 p and 5 p in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. If there is Tk. 30 in all, how many 5 p coins are there?
  • Let the number of 25 p, 10 p and 5 p coins be x, 2x, 3x respectively.

    Then, sum of their values

    = Tk. {(25x/100) + (10 x 2x)/100 + (5 x 3x)/100}

    = Tk. (60x/100)

    So, 60x/100 = 30

    => x = (30 x 100)/60 = 50.

    Hence, the number of 5 p coins = (3 x 50) = 150.

  • 79. Two number are in the ratio 3 : 5. If 9 is subtracted from each, the new numbers are in the ratio 12 : 23. The smaller number is:
  • Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.

    Then, (3x – 9) / ( 5x – 9) = 12/23

    => 23(3x - 9) = 12(5x - 9)

    => 9x = 99

    => x = 11.

    So, The smaller number = (3 x 11) = 33.

  • 80. The fourth proportional to 5, 8, 15 is:
  • Let the fourth proportional to 5, 8, 15 be x.

    Then, 5 : 8 : 15 : x

    So, x = (8 x 15)/5 = 24.

  • 81. If 40% of a number is equal to two-third of another number, what is the ratio of first number to the second number?
  • Let 40% of A = (2/3) B

    Then, 40A/100 = 2B/3

    => 2A/5 = 2B/3

    => A/B = (2/3) x (5/2) = 5/3

    So, A : B = 5 : 3.

  • 82. The salaries A, B, C are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. If the increments of 15%, 10% and 20% are allowed respectively in their salaries, then what will be new ratio of their salaries?
  • Let A = 2k, B = 3k and C = 5k.

    A's new salary = 115/100 of 2k = (115/100) x 2k = 23k/10

    B's new salary = 110 of 3k = (110/100 x 3k = 33k/10

    C's new salary = 120/100 of 5k = (120/100) x 5k = 6k

    So, New ratio (23k/10 : 33k/10 : 6k) = 23 : 33 : 60

  • 83. If Tk. 782 be divided into three parts, proportional to 1/2 : 2/3 :3/4 , then the first part is:
  • Given ratio = 1/2 : 2/3 :3/4 = 6 : 8 : 9.

    So, 1st part = Tk. (782 x (6/23)) = Tk. 204

  • 84. The sum of three numbers is 98. If the ratio of the first to second is 2 :3 and that of the second to the third is 5 : 8, then the second number is:

    A : B = 2 : 3 and B : C = 5 : 8

    = 5 x (3/5) : (8 x 3/5) = 3:24/5

    => A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 24/5 = 10 : 15 : 24

    => B = (98 x 15/49) = 30.

  • 85. If 0.75 : x :: 5 : 8, then x is equal to:

  • 86. Salaries of Ravi and Sumit are in the ratio 2 : 3. If the salary of each is increased by Tk. 4000, the new ratio becomes 40 : 57. What is Sumit's salary?
  • Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Tk. 2x and Tk. 3x respectively.

    Then, (2x + 4000)/(3x + 4000) = 40/57

    => 57(2x + 4000) = 40(3x + 4000)

    => 6x = 68,000

    => 3x = 34,000

    Sumit's present salary = (3x + 4000)

    = Tk.(34000 + 4000) = Tk. 38,000.

  • 87. The ratio of the number of boys and girls in a college is 7 : 8. If the percentage increase in the number of boys and girls be 20% and 10% respectively, what will be the new ratio?
  • Originally, let the number of boys and girls in the college be 7x and 8x respectively.

    Their increased number is (120% of 7x) and (110% of 8x).

    => ((120/100)x7x) and ((110/100) x 8x)

    => 42x/5 and 44x/5

    So, The required ratio = 42x/5 : 44x = 21 : 22.

  • 88. In a mixture 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water 2 : 1. If the this ratio is to be 1 : 2, then the quanity of water to be further added is:
  • Quantity of milk = ((60 x (2/3)) litres = 40 litres.

    Quantity of water in it = (60- 40) litres = 20 litres.

    New ratio = 1 : 2

    Let quantity of water to be added further be x litres.

    Then, milk : water = 40/(20+x)

    Now, 40/(20+x) = ½

    => 20 + x =80

    => x = 60.

    So, Quantity of water to be added = 60 litres.

  • 89. Seats for Mathematics, Physics and Biology in a school are in the ratio 5 : 7 : 8. There is a proposal to increase these seats by 40%, 50% and 75% respectively. What will be the ratio of increased seats?
  • Originally, let the number of seats for Mathematics, Physics and Biology be 5x, 7x and 8x respectively.

    Number of increased seats are (140% of 5x), (150% of 7x) and (175% of 8x).

    => (140/100 x 5x) , (150/100 x 7x) and (175/100 x 8x)       

    => 7x, 21x/2 and 14x.

    So, The required ratio = 7x : 21x/2 : 14x

    => 14x : 21x : 28x

    => 2 : 3 : 4.

  • 90. A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D in the proportion of 5 : 2 : 4 : 3. If C gets Tk. 1000 more than D, what is B's share?
  • Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Tk. 5x, Tk. 2x, Tk. 4x and Tk. 3x respectively.

    Then, 4x - 3x = 1000

    => x = 1000.

    So, B's share = Tk. 2x

    = Tk. (2 x 1000) = Tk. 2000.

  • 91. Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number. The ratio of the two numbers is:
  • Let the third number be x.

    Then, first number = 120% of x

    = 120x/100 = 6x/5

    Second number = 150% of x

    = 150x/100 = 3x/2

    So, Ratio of first two numbers = (6x/5 : 3x)

    = 12x : 15x = 4 : 5.

  • 92. A and B together have Tk. 1210. If 4/15 of A's amount is equal to 2/5 of B's amount, how much amount does B have?
  • (4/15)A = (2/5)B

    => A = (2/5) x (15/4)B

    => A = (3/2)B

    => A/B = 3/2

    => A : B = 3 : 2.

    So, B's share = Tk. (1210 x 2/5) = Tk. 484.

  • 93. The present ages of A and B are in the ratio 6:4. Five years ago their ages were in the ratio 5:3. Find their present ages.
  • Go from the choices

    Choice (3) 30 and 20 are in the ratio of 6: 4

    Five years ago their ages would be 25 and 15 which are in the ratio 5 : 3.

    = 7/9 X 729

    = 567mL

    The quantity of water then shall be

    729 - 567 = 162mL

    If the final mixture would contain half milk and half water, there must be equal quantity of both.

    So in order to make up for water, we'll need to add

    567mL - 162mL= 405mL of water

      Female voter = y

      50% of x + 80% of y = 70% of (x+y)

      50x/100 + 80y/100 = 70(x+y)/100

      50x + 80y = 70x + 70y

      80y – 70y= 70x – 50x

      10y = 20x

      x/y = 10/20 = ½
