Find the value of x, if :
(i) (2x + 3) : (5x – 38) is the duplicate ratio of √5 : √6
(ii) (2x + 1) : (3x + 13) is the sub-duplicate ratio of 9 : 25.
(iii) (3x -7): (4x + 3) is the sub-triplicate ratio of 8 : 27.
Solution:

Question 6.
What quantity must be added to each term of the ratio x : y so that it may become equal to c : d ?
Solution:

Question 7.
A woman reduces her weight in the ratio 7 : 5. What does her weight become if originally it was 84 kg?
Solution:
Ratio in reduction of weight = 7 : 5
Originally weight of the woman = 84 kg
Reduced weight = \(\frac { 84 x 5 }{ 7 }\) = 60 kg

Question 8.
If 15 (2x² – y²) = 7xy, find x : y, if x and y both are positive.
Solution:

Question 9.
Find the :
(i) fourth proportional to 2xy, x² and y².
(ii) third proportional to a² – b² and a + b.
(iii) mean proportion to (x – y) and (x³ – x²y)
Solution:
(i) Let a be the fourth proportional
Then 2xy : x² :: y² : a

Question 10.
Find two numbers such that the mean proportional between them is 14 and third proportional to them is 112.
Solution:
Let x and y be the two numbers.
Then 14 is the mean proportional between x and y
xy = 14² => xy = 196 ….(i)
and 112 is the third proportional to x, y
y² = 112 x ….(ii)

Question 11.
If x and y be unequal and x : y is the duplicate ratio of x + z and y + z, prove that z is mean proportional between x and y.
Solution:

Question 12.
If q is the mean proportional between p and r, prove that:

Solution:

Question 13.
If a, b and c are in continued proportion, prove that: a : c = (a² + b²) : (b² + c²).
Solution:

Question 14.

Solution:

Question 15.
If (4a + 9b) (4c – 9d) = (4a – 9b) (4c + 9d), prove that a : b = c : d.
Solution:

Question 16.

Solution:

Question 17.

Solution:

Question 18.
There are 36 members in a student council in a school and the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls is 3 : 1. How many more girls should be added to the council so that the ratio of number of boys to the number of girls may be 9 : 5 ?
Solution:
Total number of members = 36
Ratio in boys and girls = 3 : 1
