Solution

Checking the ratio for proportion:
It can be expressed in the form of ratios $800 m L : 300 m L$ as $\frac{800}{300}$
And ₹ $560 : 210$ ₹ can be expressed as $\frac{560}{210}$
On simplifying $\frac{800}{300} = \frac{8}{3}$
and $\frac{560}{210} = \frac{8}{3}$
Since, the two ratios are equal i.e. $\frac{8}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$ , they are in proportion.
Hence, $800 m L : 300 m L a n d 560$ ₹ $: 210$ ₹ are in proportion.
