Ratio and Propagation: 1. X and Y together have 91. If 3/4 of X is equal to 9/2 of Y's amount. How much amount does Y have?  Solution:               X+Y = 91 ----- Equation 1               3/4 X = 9/2 Y               X = 6Y.               From equation 1, we get               6Y+Y = 91               7Y = 91               Y = 13. 2. Two numbers are respectively 30% and 70% more than the first number. The ratio of first 2 numbers is: Solution:               Let the ratio be a:b:c.               a: (130/100)a: (170/100)a               10: 13: 17.               a = 10*13 = 130.               b = 13*13 = 169.

Ratio and Proportion: 1. 290 is divided amongst P, Q and R so that P may get 1/4 as much as Q and R together, Q may get 1/3 as much as P and R together. Find the share of P. Solution:                 P:(Q+R) = 1:4                 Total parts = 5.                 P's share = 1*(290/5)                                = 58. 2. A sum of 60 is divided amongst A, B, C and D such that A/B = B/C = C/D = 1/2. C's share is: Solution:               A = 1*1*1 = 1               B = 2*1*1 = 2               C = 2*2*1 = 4               D = 2*2*2 = 8               Total parts = 15.               C's share = 4*(60/15) = 16.

Ratio and Proportion: 1. The sum of the 3 numbers is 148. If the ratio of the first to the second is 1:3 and that of the second to the third is 4:7, then the first number is: Solution:                Let the numbers be x, y and z.                x:y = 1:3 and y:z = 4:7                x:y:z = 4:12:21                4a+12a+21a = 148.                37a =148                a = 4.                The first number is 4a = 16. 2. A fraction which bears the same ratio to 3/7 that 1/9 does to 5/12, is equal to: Solution:                Let that fraction be x.                x:3/7 :: 1/9: 5/12                (3/7)*(1/9) = x*(5/12)                x = 4/35.
