If the sides of two squares are in the ratio 2:1, the ratio of the areas of the two squares will be ___________.

0%
1:2
0%
3:1
0%
4:1
0%
3:4

Explanation

Let the side of one square is

$2x$ and the side of the other square is

$x$ .

So, the ratio of their areas

$=\dfrac {(2x)^2}{x^2}=\dfrac{4x^2}{x^2}$

$=\dfrac 41$ or

$4:1.$

0%
$25$
0%
$1$
0%
$15$
0%
$5$

Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number The ratio of the two numbers is

0%
2 : 5
0%
3 : 5
0%
4 : 5
0%
6 : 7

Explanation

$\textbf{Step 1: Forming the equations}$

$\text{Let the third number be }x$

$\text{First number a is 20% more than }x$

$a=x+\dfrac{20}{100}x=\dfrac{120}{100}x=1.2x$

$\text{First number b is 50% more than }x$

$b=x+\dfrac{50}{100}x=\dfrac{150}{100}x=1.5x$

$\textbf{Step 2: Finding the ratio of the two numbers}$

$\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{1.2x}{1.5x}=\dfrac{12}{15}=\dfrac{4}{5}$

$\textbf{Final Answer: The ratio of the two numbers is 4:5. The correct option is C.}$

Ratio of 200 ml to 2 litre is____.

0%
$20 : 1$
0%
$1 : 10$
0%
$2 : 200$
0%
$1 : 20$

Explanation

The units of the two quantities must be same.

We know that,

$1 \ litre =1000\ ml$

$\therefore \ 2 \ litre = 2000 \ ml$
Hence, required ratio,

$200 \ ml : 2 \ litre$ will be:

$200 : 2000$

$\Rightarrow 1 : 10$

Hence, the required ratio is

$1 : 10$ .

Simplest form of the ratio

$144 : 28$ is

0%
$28 : 4$
0%
$36 : 7$
0%
$7 : 36$
0%
$1 : 2$

Explanation

$\displaystyle\frac {144}{28}$

$=$

$\displaystyle\frac {36}{7}$

As, highest common factor (HCF)

$= 4$

$\therefore$ The simplest form of the ratio

$144 : 28$ is

$36:7$
