Question 2(a)

Write True (T) or False (F) against each of the following statements:

16 : 24 : : 20 : 30

Answer 1

If two ratios are equal, we say that they are in proportion.

Ratio of 16 to 24 = $\frac{16}{24}$ = 2 : 3

Ratio of 20 to 30 = $\frac{20}{30}$ = 2 : 3

Since, 16 : 24 = 20 : 30

Therefore, 16, 24, 20, 30 are in proportion.

Hence, it is True.
