Ashwin Chauhan answered |
Ratio Calculation:
- 40 cm is equivalent to 0.4 meters (since 1 meter = 100 cm)
- So, the ratio of 40 cm to 1.5 m can be written as 0.4 : 1.5
Simplify the Ratio:
- To simplify the ratio, we need to find a common factor for both numbers.
- The highest common factor for 0.4 and 1.5 is 0.1
- Divide both numbers by 0.1 to simplify the ratio
- 0.4 ÷ 0.1 = 4 and 1.5 ÷ 0.1 = 15
- Therefore, the simplified ratio is 4 : 15
Final Answer:
- The ratio of 40 cm to 1.5 m is 4 : 15.
- 40 cm is equivalent to 0.4 meters (since 1 meter = 100 cm)
- So, the ratio of 40 cm to 1.5 m can be written as 0.4 : 1.5
Simplify the Ratio:
- To simplify the ratio, we need to find a common factor for both numbers.
- The highest common factor for 0.4 and 1.5 is 0.1
- Divide both numbers by 0.1 to simplify the ratio
- 0.4 ÷ 0.1 = 4 and 1.5 ÷ 0.1 = 15
- Therefore, the simplified ratio is 4 : 15
Final Answer:
- The ratio of 40 cm to 1.5 m is 4 : 15.

Mahesh Chavan answered |
To find the third term in the proportion, we can use the concept of ratios. A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. In this case, the given proportion can be written as:
1st term / 2nd term = 4th term / 3rd term
Let's substitute the given values:
7 / 42 = 72 / 3rd term
Now, we can cross-multiply to solve for the unknown third term:
7 * 3rd term = 42 * 72
Simplifying the equation:
3rd term = (42 * 72) / 7
Calculating the value:
3rd term = 3024 / 7
3rd term ≈ 432
Therefore, the third term in the proportion is approximately 432. However, this value is not among the given options. It seems there may have been an error in the options provided. None of the options given match the calculated value.
If we assume that the options are incorrect and look for the closest value to 432, we find that option B, which is 12, is the closest. However, it is important to note that 12 is not the exact third term in the proportion.
In conclusion, the correct answer would be 432, but since it is not among the options, the closest option is 12.
1st term / 2nd term = 4th term / 3rd term
Let's substitute the given values:
7 / 42 = 72 / 3rd term
Now, we can cross-multiply to solve for the unknown third term:
7 * 3rd term = 42 * 72
Simplifying the equation:
3rd term = (42 * 72) / 7
Calculating the value:
3rd term = 3024 / 7
3rd term ≈ 432
Therefore, the third term in the proportion is approximately 432. However, this value is not among the given options. It seems there may have been an error in the options provided. None of the options given match the calculated value.
If we assume that the options are incorrect and look for the closest value to 432, we find that option B, which is 12, is the closest. However, it is important to note that 12 is not the exact third term in the proportion.
In conclusion, the correct answer would be 432, but since it is not among the options, the closest option is 12.

Given Information:
The bus covers 225 km in 3 hours and the train covers 600 km in 5 hours.
Calculating Speed:
To find the ratio of their speeds, we need to calculate the speed of the bus and the speed of the train.
Speed is calculated by dividing the distance covered by the time taken.
For the bus:
Speed of the bus = Distance covered by the bus / Time taken by the bus
Speed of the bus = 225 km / 3 hours
Speed of the bus = 75 km/h
For the train:
Speed of the train = Distance covered by the train / Time taken by the train
Speed of the train = 600 km / 5 hours
Speed of the train = 120 km/h
Calculating Ratio:
Now that we have calculated the speeds of the bus and the train, we can find the ratio of their speeds.
Ratio of speeds = Speed of the bus : Speed of the train
Ratio of speeds = 75 km/h : 120 km/h
To simplify the ratio, we can divide both speeds by a common factor. In this case, we can divide both speeds by 15.
Ratio of speeds = (75 km/h ÷ 15) : (120 km/h ÷ 15)
Ratio of speeds = 5 km/h : 8 km/h
Therefore, the ratio of the speed of the bus to the speed of the train is 5 : 8.
So, the correct answer is option A) 5 : 8.

Bijoy Goyal answered |
Given:
Amount to be divided = Rs 8100
Ratio of division = 2 : 3 : 4
To find:
Amount received by M
Solution:
Step 1: Find the total number of parts in the ratio
The total number of parts in the ratio is found by adding the individual ratios:
2 + 3 + 4 = 9
Step 2: Find the value of one part
To find the value of one part, divide the total amount by the total number of parts:
Rs 8100 ÷ 9 = Rs 900
Step 3: Find the amount received by M
Since M's share is in the ratio of 3, multiply the value of one part by 3:
Rs 900 × 3 = Rs 2700
Hence, M receives Rs 2700.
Note:
The ratio method is used to divide a certain quantity into different parts based on the given ratio. In this case, the total amount of Rs 8100 is divided into three parts in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 4. By using the ratio method, we can find the value of one part and calculate the amount received by each individual.

Mehul Sharma answered |
To find the number of envelopes that can be purchased for Rs 315, we can use the information given that 35 envelopes cost Rs 87.50.
Let's calculate the cost of one envelope first:
Cost of 35 envelopes = Rs 87.50
Cost of 1 envelope = Rs 87.50/35
Cost of 1 envelope = Rs 2.50
Now, let's find the number of envelopes that can be purchased for Rs 315:
Number of envelopes = Rs 315/ Rs 2.50
Number of envelopes = 126
Therefore, we can purchase 126 envelopes for Rs 315.
Explanation:
1. Calculate the cost of one envelope:
- Divide the cost of 35 envelopes by 35.
- Rs 87.50/35 = Rs 2.50
2. Find the number of envelopes that can be purchased:
- Divide the given amount of Rs 315 by the cost of one envelope (Rs 2.50).
- Rs 315/Rs 2.50 = 126
So, we can purchase 126 envelopes for Rs 315.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 126.
Let's calculate the cost of one envelope first:
Cost of 35 envelopes = Rs 87.50
Cost of 1 envelope = Rs 87.50/35
Cost of 1 envelope = Rs 2.50
Now, let's find the number of envelopes that can be purchased for Rs 315:
Number of envelopes = Rs 315/ Rs 2.50
Number of envelopes = 126
Therefore, we can purchase 126 envelopes for Rs 315.
Explanation:
1. Calculate the cost of one envelope:
- Divide the cost of 35 envelopes by 35.
- Rs 87.50/35 = Rs 2.50
2. Find the number of envelopes that can be purchased:
- Divide the given amount of Rs 315 by the cost of one envelope (Rs 2.50).
- Rs 315/Rs 2.50 = 126
So, we can purchase 126 envelopes for Rs 315.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 126.

Here, 2x + 3x + 5x = 180
⇒ 10x = 180
∴ Largest angle = 5x = 5 × 18 = 90°
⇒ 10x = 180
∴ Largest angle = 5x = 5 × 18 = 90°
