यदि u : v = v : w है तब u⁴ : v⁴ का मान ज्ञात कीजिये।

u:v=v:w
⇒ u/v = v/w
⇒ v ² = uw
⇒ v ⁴ = (uw)² = u²w²

2. What number should be added to each of 7, 17, 22 and 47 so that the resulting
numbers will be in proportion in the given order?
7, 17, 22 और 47 प्रत्येक में कौन सी संख्या को िोडा िाना चाजहए तादक पररणामी संख्याएं एक
समानुपात में हों?

Let us add x to each of the four numbers to make the

resulting numbers in proportion
(7 + x)/(17 + x) = (22 + x)/(47 + x)
⇒ (7 + x) (47 + x) = (22 + x)
(a) 1
⇒ 329 + 7x + 47x + x² = 374 + 22x + 17x + x²

3. If 50 less had applied and 25 less selected, the ratio of selected to unselected would
have been 9 : 4. How many candidates had applied, if the ratio of selected to unselected
was 2 : 1?
यदि 50 कम ने आवेिन दकया और 25 कम चयजनत हुए, चयजनतों और अचयजनतों का अनुपात 9 : 4 होता। दकतने
अभ्यर्थियों नें आवेिन दकया, यदि चयजनत का अचयजनत से अनुपात 2 : 1 है?

Since the ratio of selected to unselected was 2 : 1;

Selected candidates = 2x, Unselected candidates = x and total applied
candidates = 3x
If 50 less had applied and 25 less selected, the ratio of selected to unselected
would have been 9 : 4
∴ Total applied candidates = (3x – 50)
(a) 125 And Selected candidates = (2x – 25) and Unselected candidates = x – 50 + 25
(b) 250 ∴ (2x – 25) / (x – 25) = 9/4
(c) 375 ⇒ x = 125
(d) 500 ∴ Total number of candidates who applied = 3x = 375

4. Before a battle the ratio of tanks to planes in an army was 5 : 3. During the war 1000 tanks were
destroyed and 800 planes were destroyed. The ratio of tanks to planes became 2 : 1. What is the
number of tanks after the war?
एक युद्ध से पहले टैंक का हवाईिहाि से अनुपात 5 : 3 था। युद्ध के िौरान 1000 टैंक तबाह हो गए और 800 हवाईिहाि
तबाह हो गए। टैंक का हवाईिहाि से अनुपात 2 : 1 हो िाता है। युद्ध के बाि टैंकों की संख्या क्या है?

Suppose tanks before battle = 5x and Planes = 3x

Since during war 1000 tanks and 800 planes were destroyed and ratio
becomes 2 : 1;
∴ (5x – 1000) / (3x – 800) = 2/1
⇒ 5x – 1000 = 6x – 1600
∴ x = 600
(a) 2000 ∴ Number of tanks after war = 600 × 5 – 1000 = 2000
(b) 1000
(c) 3000
(d) 4000

If x is subtracted from each of 23, 39, 32 and 56, the number would be in
proportion.
According to the question
⇒ (23 – x) / (39 – x) = (32 – x) / (56 – x)
⇒ (23 – x + 39 – x) / (23 – x – 39 + x) = (32 – x + 56 – x) / (32 – x – 56 + x)

4.8 और 10.8 के मध्य औसत आनुपाजतक और 0.4 और 2.4 के मध्य तृतीय आनुपाजतक का अनुपात क्या है?

Mean proportional of 4.8 and 10.8

⇒ 4.8 ∶ x ∶∶ x ∶ 10.8
⇒ 4.8/x = x/10.8
⇒ x² = 4.8 × 10.8
⇒ x = √(4.8 × 10.8) = 7.2
Third proportional of 0.4 and 2.4
(a) 1 ∶ 2 ⇒ 0.4 ∶ 2.4 ∶∶ 2.4 ∶ x

Compound ratio of given ratios = [(p – 5) (p + 7)] ∶ [(p + 2) (p – 3)] = 9 ∶ 10

⇒ 10(p² + 7p – 5p – 35) = 9(p² – 3p + 2p – 6)
⇒ 10p² + 20p – 350 = 9p² – 9p – 54
⇒ p² + 29p – 296 = 0
⇒ (p + 37) (p – 8) = 0

1/c?
यदि (a + b) ∶ (b + c) ∶ (c + a) = 7 ∶ 6 ∶ 5 और a + b + c = 27 है, तो 1/a ∶ 1/b ∶ 1/c का मान क्या होगा?

(a + b) ∶ (b + c) ∶ (c + a) = 7k ∶ 6k ∶ 5k
⇒ a + b + b + c + c + a = 7k + 6k + 5k
⇒ 2(a + b + c) = 18k
⇒ (a + b + c) = 9k
c = 9k – 7k = 2k
a = 9k – 6k = 3k
(a) 4 ∶ 3 ∶ 6 b = 9k – 5k = 4k

10. A sold diamond falls and breaks into three pieces whose weights are in 2 : 3 : 4. The value of
each piece is directly proportional to the square of their weights. Given that the value of sold diamond
is Rs. 2,02,500. What was his loss due to breakage?
एक ठोस हीरा जगर िाता है तथा तीन टुकडों में टूट िाता है, जिनके भारों का अनुपात 2 : 3 : 4 है। प्रत्येक टुकडे की कीमत

Total weight of diamond = 2x+3x+4x=9x

∴ Price of diamond = (9x)² = 81x²
⇒ 81x² = 2,02,500 ⇒ x² = 2,500
After breakage, price of diamond = (2x)² + (3x)² + (4x)² = 29x²
Loss = 81x² – 29x² = 52x²
= 52 × 2,500 = Rs 1,30,000

11. Ankit served in the Army for 9 years more than Binay and got Rs 1500 more pension than Binay. The
pension paid by the Army is directly proportional to the square root of the number of years of service an
employee puts in it. Had Binay put in 17/4 years more service in the Army than what he actually did, then their
pension would have been in the ratio of 10 : 9. How long did Ankit serve in the Army?
अंदकत ने जबनय से 9 साल अजिक सेना में सेवा की और जबनय से 1500 रु अजिक पेंशन प्राप्त दकया। सेना द्वारा भुगतान की गई पेंशन सीिे
उस कमिचारी की सेवा के वर्षों की संख्या के वगिमल

काम दकया होता, तो उनकी पेंशन 10 : 9 के अनुपात में होती। अंदकत ने सेना में दकतने समय तक काम दकया?

Pension = K√n, where n = number of years of service

Let the number of years of service for Binay be m.
Ankit’s Pension = 𝐊 𝐦 + 𝟗
Binay’s pension = K√m
(a) 16 years Had Binay put in 17/4 years more, his pension = 𝐊 𝐦 + 𝟒. 𝟐𝟓
