CBSE Class 6th ( VI) Mathematics Chapter 12. Ratio and Proportion: Exercise 12.1 Solved

Things to remember..

When, we compared the two quantities in terms of ‘how many times’. This comparison is known as the Ratio. We denote ratio using symbol ‘:’ Consider the following example : DIsha’s weight is 15 kg and her father’s weight is 60 kg. How many times Father’s weight is of Isha’s weight? It is 4 times.
∴ The ratio of father’s weight to Disha’s weight = 60/15 = 4/1= 4:1  
1. There are 20 girls and 15 boys in a class. 
(a) What is the ratio of number of girls to the number of boys? 
(b) What is the ratio of number of girls to the total number of students in the class?
  

Answer: 
(a) The ratio of number of girls to the number of boys= 20/15 = 4/3 = 4 : 3
(b)To find out the ratio of number of girls to the total number of students in the class we have to first find the total numbers of students in the class i.e. 20+15 = 35

9. There are 102 teachers in a school of 3300 students. Find the ratio of the number of teachers to the number of students.  
Answer: 
The ratio of the number of teachers to the number of students = 102/3300= 17/550 = 17 : 550
10. In a college, out of 4320 students, 2300 are girls. Find the ratio of 
(a) Number of girls to the total number of students. 
(b) Number of boys to the number of girls. 
(c) Number of boys to the total number of students.  

Answer: 
(a) The ratio of Number of girls to the total number of students = 2300/4320= 115/216 = 115 : 216
(b) The Numbers of boys= 4320 - 2300 = 2020
The ratio of Number of boys to the number of girls = 2020/2300 = 101/115 = 101:115
(c) The ratio of Number of boys to the total number of students= 2020/4320= 101/216 = 101:216

Answer: 
The Cost of a dozen pens is = Rs 180 and
∴ cost of 1 pen is = 180/12 = Rs 15
The cost of 8 ball pens is = Rs 56 ∴ cost of 1 ball pen is = 56/8 = Rs 7
The ratio of cost of a pen to the cost of a ball pen = 15/7 = 15 : 7

14. Divide 20 pens between Sheela and Sangeeta in the ratio of 3 : 2.  

Answer: 
The sum of the parts (ratios) = 3+2 = 5

The numbers of pens, Sangeeta will get = (2/5)×20 = 8
15. Mother wants to divide Rs 36 between her daughters Shreya and Bhoomika in the ratio of their ages. If age of Shreya is 15 years and age of Bhoomika is 12 years, find how much Shreya and Bhoomika will get.  
 
Answer: 
The ratio of age of Shreya to the age of Bhoomika = 15 /12 = 5: 4
The sum of the parts (ratios) = 5+4 = 9
The Rs Shreya will get = (5/9)×36 = Rs 20
The Rs Shreya will get = (4/9)×36 = Rs 16
16. Present age of father is 42 years and that of his son is 14 years. Find the ratio of 
(a) Present age of father to the present age of son. 
(b) Age of the father to the age of son, when son was 12 years old. 
 (c) Age of father after 10 years to the age of son after 10 years. 
(d) Age of father to the age of son when father was 30 years old. Answer: 
(a) The ratio of Present age of father to the present age of son = 42 /14 = 3:1
(b) The age of the father, When son was 12 = 42-(14-12) = 40
The ratio of the age of the father to the age of son, when son was 12 years old = 40/12 = 10/3= 10:3
(c) The ratio of the age of father after 10 years to the age of son after 10 years = (42+10)/(14+10) = 52/24=13/6 = 13 : 6
(d) The ratio of the age of father to the age of son when father was 30 years old. = 30/[14-(42-30)] = 30/(14 -12)= 30/2 = 15/1 = 15 : 1
