RATIO AND PROPORTION .c om Ratio : The ratio of two qualities a and b in the same units, is the fraction a/b and we write it as a:b. In the ratio a:b, A is known as the antecedent and b is known as the consequent. Ex: The ratio 5:9 represents 5/9 with antecedent=5 , consequent=9 ak s Proportion: The equality of two ratios is called proportion. If a:b=c:d, we write a:b::c:d and we say that a,b,c and d are in proportion. Here a and b are called extremes, while b and c are called mean terms. Product of means=product of extremes Thus, a:b::c:d or (ππ × ππ) = (ππ × ππ) xa m fre Compounded Ratio Ratios are compounded by multiplying together the antecedents for a new antecedent, and the consequents for a new consequent. Ex- Find the compounded ratio of the following ratios3:4, 2:3, 4:5 and 3:8 Sol: The required ratio = 3 20 . Important terms: Fourth proportional: If a:b::c:d, then d is called the fourth proportional to a,b and c. Third proportional: If a:b::b:c, then c is called third proportional to a and b. Mean proportional: Mean proportional between a and b is SQRT(a*b). Compounded ratio: The compounded ratio of the ratios (a:b), (c:d),(e:f) is (ace:bdf). Duplicate Ratio: If the given ratio is (a:b) then its duplicate ratio is (ππ2 : ππ 2 ). w 6. Sub-duplicate ratio of (a:b) is οΏ½βππ: βπποΏ½. 7. Triplicate ratio of (a:b) is (ππ3 : ππ 3 ) 3 3 8.

Ratio of equality : If the antecedent is equal to the consequent in a ratio then the ratio is known as the ratio of equality. Eg β 6:6 2. Ratio of greater inequality : If the antecedent is greater than the consequent in a ratio then the ratio is known as the ratio of greater inequality. Eg β 11:6 3. Ratio of less inequality : If the antecedent is less than the consequent in a ratio then the ratio is known as the ratio of less inequality. Eg β 6:11 .e Proportional Division The process by which a quantity may be divided into parts which bear a given ratio to one another, is called proportional division and the parts are known as proportional parts.
