Let's denote:
- A's investment = Rs. 1,26,000
- B's investment = Rs. 84,000
- C's investment = Rs. 2,10,000
The total investment is the sum of their individual investments: Total investment = Rs. 1,26,000 + Rs. 84,000 + Rs. 2,10,000 = Rs. 4,20,000
Now, we find the ratio of each person's investment to the total investment:
- A's ratio = Rs. 1,26,000 / Rs. 4,20,000 = 3/10
- B's ratio = Rs. 84,000 / Rs. 4,20,000 = 1/5
- C's ratio = Rs. 2,10,000 / Rs. 4,20,000 = 1/2
Now, we multiply each person's ratio by the total profit to find their share of the profit:
- A's share = (3/10) * Rs. 2,42,000 = Rs. 72,600
- B's share = (1/5) * Rs. 2,42,000 = Rs. 48,400
- C's share = (1/2) * Rs. 2,42,000 = Rs. 1,21,000

Preeti Khanna answered |
2x-2x-1 =4 , then taking common 2x-1
2x-1(2-1) = 4 , 2x-1 =4 ,
2x-1=22, simplify
x-1 = 2, x = 3 then
xx = 33 = 27
hence 27 is the required answer
2x-1(2-1) = 4 , 2x-1 =4 ,
2x-1=22, simplify
x-1 = 2, x = 3 then
xx = 33 = 27
hence 27 is the required answer

ii) From the given data, we have x = (3/4)y or 4x = 3y
iii) (x2y + xy2) :: (x2 + y2) = xy(x + y)/{(x + y)(x2 - xy + y2) = (xy)/(x2 - xy + y2)
Substituting x = (3/4)y from the above,
(x2y + xy2) :: (x2 + y2) = (3y2/4)/(9y2/16 - 3y2/4 + y2) = 12/(9 - 12 + 16) = 12/13

Pallabi Khanna answered |
Explanation:
The given equation is x/y = z/w.
To find out if y/x = w/z, we can use the property of cross-multiplication:
- Cross-multiplying the given equation, we get xw = yz.
- Dividing both sides by xyz, we get w/y = z/x.
- Rearranging, we get y/x = w/z.
Therefore, the given equation implies that y/x = w/z.
The process of using cross-multiplication to find equivalent fractions is a basic arithmetic skill and does not have a specific name. Therefore, the answer is d) none of these.
Conclusion:
- The given equation x/y = z/w can be cross-multiplied to get xw = yz.
- Dividing both sides by xyz, we get w/y = z/x, which can be rearranged to y/x = w/z.
- The process of using cross-multiplication to find equivalent fractions does not have a specific name, so the answer is d) none of these.

Ishani Rane answered |
The duplicate ratio of 3:4 is 3^2/4^2 = 9/16.
The triplicate ratio of 2:3 is 2^3/3^3 = 8/27.
Now we have 4 ratios: 4:9, 9:16, 8:27 and 9:7.
We have to calculate the ratio compounded of all these ratios.
That will be (4 x 9 x 8 x 9)/(9 x 16 x 27 x 7) = 2/21.

Ratio of Anand and Promode earnings = 32 : 21.
Solution:
Anand earns Rs. 80 in 7 hours.
Anand earns Rs. 80/7 in 1 hour.
Promode earns Rs. 90 in 12 hours.
Promode earns Rs. 90/12 in 1 hours.
Ratio of their earnings = 80/7 : 90/12
=> 80 * 12 : 90 * 7
=> 8 * 12 : 9 * 7
=> 96 : 63
=> 32 : 21.
Ratio of their earnings = 32 : 21.

Sameer Rane answered |
Here's the solution to your question:
P /Q = 11 / 12 P / R = 9 / 8
Q / R = P/R / P/Q = 9/8 / 11/12 = 9*12 / 8*11 = 27/22
The ratio between the average temperature of Q and R is Q : R = 27 : 22
Hence, the correct answer is Option B

Given: 4, *, 9, 13 are in proportion.
To find: The value of *
We know that if four numbers a, b, c, and d are in proportion, then:
a : b = c : d
Using this property, we can write:
4 : * = 9 : 13
Cross-multiplying both sides, we get:
4 × 13 = 9 × *
52 = 9*
Dividing both sides by 9, we get:
* = 52/9
Simplifying further, we get:
* = 5.7778
Therefore, the value of * is 6 (approximate to one decimal place).
Hence, the correct option is (a) 6.

x1/p=y1/q=z1/r=k (say)
⇒ x = kp,y = kq,z = kr
xyz=1 (given)
kp.kq.kr=1
k(p+q+r)=1.

Ishani Rane answered |
The duplicate ratio of 3:4 is 3^2/4^2 = 9/16.
The triplicate ratio of 2:3 is 2^3/3^3 = 8/27.
Now we have 4 ratios: 4:9, 9:16, 8:27 and 9:7.
We have to calculate the ratio compounded of all these ratios.
That will be (4 x 9 x 8 x 9)/(9 x 16 x 27 x 7) = 2/21.

Given equation and required process
The given equation is x/y=z/w and we need to determine the process for obtaining y/x=w/z.
Solution
The given equation can be written as xw=yz. Dividing both sides by yz gives:
xw/yz=1
Multiplying both sides by xz/wy gives:
xz/wy=xw/yz=1
Now, we can rearrange this equation to get:
yz/xw=wy/xz
Therefore, y/x=w/z. This process is known as the reciprocal interchange rule.
Conclusion
Hence, the correct answer is option D, none of these. The process used to obtain y/x=w/z from x/y=z/w is known as the reciprocal interchange rule.

2x/x=2
so just multiply x+1 by 2=2(x+1)=2x+2

p/q =r/s
=> ps =qr {cross multiplication }
putting the value
2.5 X 1.5 =2.5 X 1.5

therefore, we get ps :qr=1:1

Given, division of Rs. 750 into 3 parts in the ratio 4:5:6
Let the parts be 4x, 5x and 6x.
Total parts = 4x + 5x + 6x = 15x
According to the question,
15x = 750
x = 50
Therefore, the parts are:
4x = 4*50 = 200
5x = 5*50 = 250
6x = 6*50 = 300
Hence, the division of Rs. 750 into 3 parts in the ratio 4:5:6 is (200, 250, 300). Option A is the correct answer.

Ratio and Proportion:
Ratio is the comparison of two numbers by division. It is denoted by “:” or “/”. For example, the ratio of 3 and 4 is 3:4 or 3/4.
Proportion is the equality of two ratios. It is denoted by “=”. For example, 3:4 = 6:8.
Antecedent and Consequent:
In a ratio, the first number is called antecedent and the second number is called consequent.
Given ratio is 3:4. Let the antecedent be 15. We need to find the consequent.
Solution:
We can solve this problem by using the concept of proportion.
3:4 = 15:x (where x is the consequent)
Multiplying both sides by 4 (cross-multiplication), we get
3 x 4 = 15 x x
12 = 15x
Dividing both sides by 15, we get
x = 12/15
Simplifying, we get
x = 4/5
Therefore, the consequent is 4/5 times the antecedent.
Multiplying the antecedent by the ratio (4/5), we get
15 x 4/5 = 12
Therefore, the consequent is 12.
Hence, the correct option is (d) 20.
