261. If 𝑥 % of 200 is equal to y% of 250, then what is the ratio 𝑦 : 𝑥 ?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 1 : 1

Explanation Equating the two expressions and simplifying gives: x cdot 200 = y cdot 250 Rightarrow frac{y}{x} = frac{200}{250} = frac{4}{5} Rightarrow y : x = 4 : 5 x ⋅ 200 = y ⋅ 250 ⇒ y ​/x = 200 / 250 = 4 ​/5 ⇒ y : x = 4 : 5

263. The sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 4. The ratio of the numbers is:

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 11:9

Explanation Let the two numbers be x x x and y y y , where x > y x > y x > y . We are given: x + y = 40 (1) x - y = 4 quad text{(2)} x − y = 4 (2) Adding equations (1) and (2): 2x=44⟹x=22 Subtracting equation (2) from (1) 2y = 36 implies y = 18 2 y = 36 ⟹ y = 18 The numbers are 22 and 18. The ratio of the numbers is: x ​/y = 22 ​/18 = 11/9 ​

264. A drink contains 20% mango juice and the rest is apple juice. What is the ratio of mango juice to apple juice?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 1:4

266. If 6 (A’s Capital) = 8(B’s capital) = 10(C’s Capital), then the ratio of their capital is?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 20 : 15 : 12

Explanation 6(A's Capital) = 8(B's Capital) = 10(C's Capital) We can write this as: A's Capital = x B's Capital = x × (6/8) = 0.75x C's Capital = x × (6/10) = 0.6x Now, we can write the ratio of their capitals as: A's Capital : B's Capital : C's Capital = x : 0.75x : 0.6x Divide each term by x: A's Capital : B's Capital : C's Capital = 1 : 0.75 : 0.6 Multiply each term by 20 (the least common multiple of 1, 0.75, and 0.6) to eliminate decimals: A's Capital : B's Capital : C's Capital = 20 : 15 : 12 So, the ratio of their capitals is: 20 : 15 : 12

267. In a factory, there are 120 workers, of whom 45 are women and the remaining are men. The ratio of men to women is?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 5:3
