71. If 6 : m :: 9 : 12, then m is?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 8

Explanation We can set up the proportion as: 6/m = 9/12 Cross-multiply: 6 × 12 = 9 × m Simplify: 72 = 9m Divide both sides by 9: m = 72/9 m = 8 So, the correct answer is: 8

72. If 7 men in 100 are criminals. How many men in 500 are criminals?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 35

Explanation Using proportion: 7/100 = x/500 → x = 7 × 5 = 35.

73. The ratio of Asad's salary to Sania's salary is 2 : 3 and the ratio of Sania's salary to Fahad's salary is 4 : 3. Find the continued ratio among their salary?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 8 : 12 : 9

Explanation Given: Asad : Sania = 2 : 3 Sania : Fahad = 4 : 3 To find the continued ratio, we need to make Sania's ratio equivalent in both. Let's adjust the ratios: Asad : Sania = 2 : 3 = 8 : 12 (multiplied both parts by 4) Sania : Fahad = 4 : 3 = 12 : 9 (multiplied both parts by 3) Now, combining them: Asad : Sania : Fahad = 8 : 12 : 9

74. The compound ratio of 3:4, 8:15 and 25:28 is?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 5:14

Explanation To find the compound ratio, multiply the corresponding parts: (3 * 8 * 25) : (4 * 15 * 28) = 600 : 1680 Simplifying the ratio: = 600 / 1680 = 5/14 = 5 : 14

75. The sum of two consecutive integers is 31. What are the integers?

دو لگاتار انٹیجرز کا مجموعہ 31 ہے۔ ان میں سے انٹیجرز کیا ہیں؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 15 and 16

Explanation Let the two consecutive integers be x and x+1. Their sum is given by: x+(x+1)=31 Simplify and solve for x: 2x+1=31 2x=30 Divide both sides by 2: x=15 So, the two consecutive integers are: 15 and 15+1=16 Answer: 15 and 16

76. Divide Rs. 1300 into two parts in the ratio 6:4, what is the amount of smallest part?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 520

Explanation Total parts = 6 + 4 = 10; each part = 1300 ÷ 10 = Rs. 130 Smallest part = 4 × 130 = Rs. 520

77. Find the fourth proportional to the numbers 60, 48, 30.

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 24

Explanation To find the fourth proportional, we need to set up a proportion : 60 : 48 :: 30 : x Where x is the fourth proportional. We can rewrite this as: 60/48 = 30/x Cross-multiplying, we get: 60x = 30 × 48 Simplifying, we get: 60x = 1440 Dividing both sides by 60, we get: x = 24 So, the fourth proportional is 24.

78. If a∶b = 2∶3 and b∶c = 5∶3, then a∶b∶c = _____?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 10:15:9

Explanation Given: a:b = 2:3 b:c = 5:3 First, make the b values equivalent: a:b = 2:3 = 2 × 5 : 3 × 5 = 10:15 b:c = 5:3 = 5 × 3 : 3 × 3 = 15:9 Now, a:b:c = 10:15:9

79. If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:3 and there are 40 boys, how many girls are there?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 24

Explanation Ratio of boys to girls = 5:3 If 5 parts = 40 boys, then 1 part = 40 ÷ 5 = 8 Girls = 3 parts = 8 × 3 = 24 girls .

80. A car salesman sells 42 red cars and 14 green cars. What is the ratio of red cars to green cars sold?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 3:1

Explanation To find the ratio, divide the number of red cars by the number of green cars: 42 (red) ÷ 14 (green) = 3 So, for every 1 green car, 3 red cars were sold. Hence, the ratio is 3:1.
