Que : 1 (A) Choose the right answer from the given options. [1 Marks Each] [5]
1. A ratio equivalent to 6 : 10 is
(A) 3 : 4 (B) 18 : 30 (C) 12 : 40 (D) 5 : 3
6 : 10 = 3 : 5
Ans. :
18 : 30 = 3 : 5
6 : 40 is equivalent to 18 : 30 (b)
2. In a class of 35 students, the number of girls is 20. The ratio of number of boys to
the number of girls in the class is
(A) 3 : 4 (B) 4 : 3 (C) 7 : 4 (D) 7 : 3
Ans. : Total number of students = 35
No. of girls = 20
No. of boys = 35 − 20 = 15
Ratio in boys and girls = 15 : 20 = 3 : 4 (a)
3. The ratio of number of girls to the number of boys in a class is 6 : 7. If there are
21 boys in the class, then the number of girls in the class is
(A) 39 (B) 24 (C) 18 (D) 13
Ans. : Girls : boys = 6 : 7
No. of boys = 21
Let no. of girls = x
6 : 7 :: x : 21
7 × x = 6 × 21
x = 18
No. of boys = 18 ©
4. If 3, 12 and x are in continued proportion, then x is
(A) 4 (B) 6 (C) 16 (D) 48
Ans. : 3, 12 and x are in continued proportion, then
3 : 12 :: 12 : x
3x = 12 × 12
x = 48 (d)
5. Sonali bought one dozen notebooks for ₹ 66. What did she pay for one notebook?
(A) ₹ 6.50 (B) ₹ 6.60 (C) ₹ 5.60 (D) ₹ 5.50
Ans. : Cost of 12 books = ₹ 66
Let cost of one book = x
12 : 1 = 66 : x
Page 1
12 × x = 1 × 66
x = 5.5
Cost of 1 book = ₹ 5.50 (d)
Que : 1 (B) TRUE / FALSE [5]
6. A ratio is always greater than 1.
Ans. : A ratio is always greater than 1. (False)
Correct : Ratio can be less than 1 or equal to 1.
It is not necessary that it is greater than 1.
7. Ratio of half an hour to 20 seconds is 30 : 20.
Ans. : Ratio of half an hour to 20 seconds is 30 : 20. (False)
Correct :
= 30 × 60 : 20 = 1800 : 20 = 90 : 1
8. The ratio 5 : 7 is greater than the ratio 5 : 6.
Ans. : The ratio 5 : 7 is greater than the ratio 5 : 6 . (False)
Correct:
5 5
,
7 6
30:35
42
30 < 35
5 : 7 is not greater than the ratio 5 : 6
9. If the numbers 3, 5, 12 and x are in proportion then the value of x is 20.
Ans. : If the numbers 3, 5, 12 and x are in proportion
then the value of x is 20. (True)
3, 5, 12 and x are in proportion then
x × 3 = 5 × 12
x = 20
10. The ratio 3 : 2 and 4 : 5 are equivalent.
Ans. : The ratio 3 : 2 and 4 : 5 are equivalent. (False)
Correct :
3 4
≠ as 15 ≠ 8

13. If 8, x, 48 and 18 are in proportion then the value of x is ………
Ans. : If 8, x, 48 and 18 are in proportion then the value of x is
8 : x :: 48 : 18
x=3
14. If the cost of 10 pencils is ₹ 15, then the cost of 6 pencils is ……..
Ans. : If the cost of 10 pencils is ₹ 15, then the cost of 6 pencils is
Cost of 10 pencils = ₹ 15
Let cot of 6 pencils = ₹ x
10 : 6 15 : x
10x = 6 × 5
x=3
Cost of 6 pencils = ₹ 3
15. If a cyclist is travelling at a speed of 15 km/h, then the distance covered by him in
