6. The ratio of ages of Abha and her mother is 2: 5. At the time of Abha’s birth her mother’s age was 27 year. Find the present ages of Abha and her mother.

Solution:

Given the ratio of ages of Abha and her mother is 2 : 5.

Let the common multiple be x.

∴ Present age of Abha = 2x years and

Present age of Abha’s mother = 5x years

According to the given condition, the age of Abha’s mother at the time of Abha’s birth = 27 years

∴ 5x – 2x = 27

∴ 3x = 27

∴ x = 9

∴ Present age of Abha = 2x = 2 x 9 = 18 years

∴ Present age of Abha’s mother = 5x =5 x 9 = 45 years

The present ages of Abha and her mother are 18 years and 45 years respectively.

7. Present ages of Vatsala and Sara are 14 years and 10 years respectively. After how many years the ratio of their ages will become 5: 4?

Solution:

Given present age of Vatsala = 14 years

Present age of Sara = 10 years

Let after x years, the ratio of their ages will be 5:4.

∴ Age of Vatsala after x years = (14 + x) years

Age of Sara after x years = (10 + x) years

Ratio of their ages = 5:4

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 9 Maths Part 1 Chapter 4 - Image 15

On cross multiplying, we get:

56 + 4x = 50 + 5x

⇒ 5x – 4x = 56 – 50

⇒ x = 6

∴ After 6 years, their ages will be 20 years and 16 years and ratio of their ages will be 5:4.

8. The ratio of present ages of Rehana and her mother is 2: 7. After 2 years, the ratio of their ages will be 1: 3. What is Rehana’s present age?

Solution:

The ratio of present ages of Rehana and her mother is 2 : 7

Let the common multiple be x.

∴ Present age of Rehana = 2x years and Present age of Rehana’s mother = 7x years

After 2 years,

Rehana’s age = (2x + 2) years

Age of Rehana’s mother = (7x + 2) years

According to the given condition,

After 2 years, the ratio of their ages will be 1 : 3

∴ 2x+27x+2 = 13

∴ 3(2x + 2) = 1(7x + 2)

∴ 6x + 6 = 7x + 2

∴ 6 – 2 = 7x – 6x

∴ 4 = x

∴ x = 4

∴ Rehana’s present age = 2x = 2 x 4 = 8 years

∴ Rehana’s present age is 8 years.

1. Which number should be subtracted from 12, 16 and 21 so that resultant numbers are in continued proportion?

Solution:

Let x be the number that should be subtracted from 12, 16, 21 so that the numbers remain in continued proportion.

Numbers a, b and c are said to be continued proportion if b2 = ac.

∴ From the definition of continued proportion, we get:

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 9 Maths Part 1 Chapter 4 - Image 53

⇒ (16 – x)2 = (12 – x) (21 – x)

On expanding the above equation, we get

⇒ 256 + x2 – 32x = 252 – 33x + x2

⇒-32x + 33x = 252 – 256

⇒ x= -4

∴ -4 should be subtracted from 12, 16, 21 so that the numbers remain in continued proportion.

2. If (28 – x) is the mean proportional of (23 – x) and (19 – x) then find the value of x.

Solution:

A number b is said to be mean proportional of two numbers a and c if b2 = ac.

∴ From the definition of mean proportion, we get:

(28 – x)2 = (23 – x) (19 – x)

On expanding the above equation, we get

⇒ 784 + x2 – 56x = 437 – 42x + x2

⇒-56x + 42x = 437 – 784

⇒ -14x= -347

⇒ x = 347/14

3. Three numbers are in continued proportion, whose mean proportional is 12 and the sum of the remaining two numbers is 26, then find these numbers.

Solution:

Let the numbers be x, y, z.

As the numbers are in continued proportion, therefore

y2 = xz ……………… (1)

Also, the mean proportion = 12

∴ y = √xz = 12

⇒ xz = 144 …………… (2)

It is given that the sum of remaining two numbers = 26

∴ x + z = 26

⇒ x = 26 – z

Put the value of x in equation (2):

(26 – z) z = 144

Expanding and simplifying we get

⇒ 26z – z2 = 144

⇒ z2 – 26z + 144 = 0

⇒ z2 – 8z – 18z + 144 = 0

⇒ z (z – 8) – 18 (z – 8) = 0

⇒ (z – 8) (z – 18) = 0

⇒ z = 8 or z = 18

∴ x = 26 – 8 or x = 26 – 18

⇒ x = 18 or x = 8

y = 12

∴ The numbers in proportion be 8, 12, 18 or 18, 12, 8.

4. If (a + b+ c) (a –b + c) = a2 + b2 + c2, show that a, b, c are in continued proportion.

Solution:

Given: (a + b+ c) (a –b + c) = a2 + b2 + c2

On multiplying we get

⇒ a2 –ab + ac + ab – b2 + bc + ca – bc + c2 = a2 + b2 + c2

⇒ a2 –ab + ac + ab – b2 + bc + ca – bc + c2 – a2 – c2= b2 + b2

⇒ 2ac = 2b2

⇒ b2 = ac

∴ a, b, c are in continued proportion.

5. If a/b = b/c and a, b, c >0, then show that,
i. (a + b+ c) (b – c) = ab – c2
ii. (a2 + b2) (b2 + c2) = (ab + bc)2
iii. (a2 + b2)/ab = (a + c)/b

Solution:

(i) Given: a/b = b/c

⇒ b2 = ac

Consider (a + b+ c) (b – c) = ab – ac + b2 – bc + cb – c2

= ab – ac + ac – c2 (∵ b2 = ac)

= ab – c2

(ii) Given a/b = b/c

⇒ b2 = ac

Consider (a2 + b2) (b2 + c2) = a2b2 + a2 c2 + b2 b2 + b2c2

= a2b2 + ac(ac)+ b2(ac)+ b2c2 (∵ b2 = ac)

= a2b2 + b2(ac)+ b2(ac)+ b2c2 (∵ b2 = ac)

= a2b2 + 2b2(ac)+ b2c2

= a2b2 + 2ab2c+ b2c2

= (ab + bc)2

(iii) Given: a/b = b/c

⇒ b2 = ac

Consider (a2 + b2)/ab = (a2 + ac)/ab (∵ b2 = ac)

= (a + c)/b

∴ Ratio of 114 and 133 in reduced form is 6:7.

3. Write the following ratios in the reduced form.
i. Radius to the diameter of a circle.
ii. The ratio of diagonal to the length of a rectangle, having length 4 cm and breadth 3 cm.
iii. The ratio of perimeter to area of a square, having side 4 cm.

Solution:

(i) Let r be the radius of the circle.

Let d be the diameter of the circle.

Diameter = 2 × Radius

∴ Ratio of radius to diameter in the reduced form = Radius: Diameter

∴ Ratio of radius to diameter in the reduced form = 1:2

(ii) Given: Length of rectangle = l = 4 cm

Breadth of rectangle = b = 3 cm

Diagonal of rectangle = √ (l2 + b2)

= √ (16 + 9)

= √25 = 5

∴ Diagonal of rectangle = 5 cm

Ratio of diagonal to the length of a rectangle = 4:5

(iii) Given: Side of square = 4 cm

Perimeter of square = 4 × Side = 4 × 4 = 16 cm2

Area of the square = (Side)2 = (4)2 = 14 cm2

The ratio of perimeter to area of a square = 16:14 = 8:7

4. Check whether the following numbers are in continued proportion.
i. 2, 4, 8
ii. 1, 2, 3
iii. 9, 12, 16
iv. 3, 5, 8

Solution:

(i) Three numbers ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ are said to be continued proportion if a, b and c are in proportion, i.e. a: b∷ b:c

or b2 = ac

Here, a = 2, b = 4 and c = 8

∴ (4)2 = 2 × 8

⇒ 16 = 16, which holds true.

∴ 2, 4, 8 are in continued proportion.

(ii) Three numbers ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ are said to be continued proportion if a, b and c are in proportion, i.e. a: b∷ b:c

or b2 = ac

Here, a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3

∴ (2)2 = 1 × 3

⇒ 4 = 3, which does not hold true.

∴ 1, 2, 3 are not in continued proportion.

(iii) Three numbers ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ are said to be continued proportion if a, b and c are in proportion, i.e. a: b∷ b: c

or b2 = ac

Here, a = 9, b = 12 and c = 16

∴ (12)2 = 9 × 16

⇒ 144 = 144, which holds true.

∴ 9, 12, 16 are in continued proportion.

(iv) Three numbers ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ are said to be continued proportion if a, b and c are in proportion,

i.e. a: b∷ b: c

or b2 = ac

Here, a = 3, b = 5 and c = 8

∴ (5)2 = 3 × 8

⇒ 25 = 24, which does not hold true.

∴ 3, 5, 8 are not in continued proportion.

5. a, b, c are in continued proportion. If a = 3 and c = 27 then find b.

Solution:

Given: a, b, c are in continued proportion.

Three numbers ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ are said to be continued proportion if a, b and c are in proportion, i.e. a: b∷ b:c

or b2 = ac

Here, a = 3, c = 27

∴ (b)2 = 3 × 27

⇒ b2 = 81

⇒ b = ±√81 = ±9

∴ b = -9 or 9

6. Convert the following ratios into percentages.
i. 37: 500

ii. 5/8
iii. 22/30

iv. 5/16
v. 144/1200

Solution:

(i) Given 37: 500 = 37/500

= ((37/500) × 100) %

= (37/5) %

= 7.4 %

(ii) Given 5/8 = ((5/8) × 100) %

= (5 × 12.5) %

= 62.5 %

(iii) Given 22/30 = ((22/30) × 100) %

= (220/3) %

= 73.33 %

(iv) Given 144/1200 = ((144/1200) × 100) %

= (144/12) %

= 12 %

A ratio is a mathematical expression of comparing two similar or different quantities by division. This expression can be expressed from ratio to percentage form by conversion method. It is denoted by ‘:’ symbol. For example, 2:3, 5:6, 3:7, etc. are ratios. It is also represented by ‘/’ symbol. Hence, the ratio is basically a type of division method. The concept related to Ratio and Proportion is explained in BYJU’S to help the students be thorough with the topics.
