   Question 1.
   
   Using the property \(\frac { a }{ b }\) = \(\frac { ak }{ bk }\), fill in the blanks by substituting proper numbers in the following.
   
    
   
   Solution:
   
    
   
    
  
   Question 2.
   
   Find the following ratios.
   
   i. The ratio of radius to circumference of the circle.
   
   ii. The ratio of circumference of circle with radius r to its area.
   
   iii. The ratio of diagonal of a square to its side, if the length of side is 7 cm.
   
   iv. The lengths of sides of a rectangle are 5 cm and 3.5 cm. Find the ratio of numbers denoting its perimeter to area.
   
   Solution:
   
   i. Let the radius of circle be r.
   
   then, its circumference = 2πr
   
   Ratio of radius to circumference of the circle
   
    
   
   The ratio of radius to circumference of the circle is 1 : 2π.
  
   ii. Let the radius of the circle is r.
   
   ∴ circumference = 2πr and area = πr
   
    2
   
   
   Ratio of circumference to the area of circle
   
    
   
   ∴ The ratio of circumference of circle with radius r to its area is 2 : r.
  
   iii. Length of side of square = 7 cm
   
   ∴ Diagonal of square = √2 x side
   
   = √2 x 7
   
   = 7 √2 cm
   
   Ratio of diagonal of a square to its side
   
    
   
   ∴ The ratio of diagonal of a square to its side is √2 : 1.
  
   iv. Length of rectangle = (l) = 5 cm,
   
   Breadth of rectangle = (b) = 3.5 cm
   
   Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)
   
   = 2(5 + 3.5)
   
   = 2 x 8.5
   
   = 17 cm
   
   Area of the rectangle = l x b
   
   = 5 x 3.5
   
   = 17.5 cm
   
    2
   
   
   Ratio of numbers denoting perimeter to the area of rectangle
   
    
   
   ∴ Ratio of numbers denoting perimeter to the area of rectangle is 34 : 35.
  
   Question 3.
   
   Compare the following
   
    
   
   Solution:
   
    
   
    
   
    
   
    
  
   Question 4.
   
   Solve.
   
   ABCD is a parallelogram. The ratio of ∠A and ∠B of this parallelogram is 5 : 4. FInd the measure of ∠B. [2 Marksl
   
   Solution:
   
   Ratio of ∠A and ∠B for given parallelogram is 5 : 4
   
   Let the common multiple be x.
   
    
   
   m∠A = 5x°and m∠B=4x°
   
   Now, m∠A + m∠B = 180° …[Adjacent angles of a parallelogram arc supplementary]
   
   ∴ 5x° + 4x°= 180°
   
   ∴ 9x° = 180°
   
   ∴ x° = 20°
   
   ∴ m∠B=4x°= 4 x 20° = 80°
   
   ∴ The measure of ∠B is 800.
  
   ii. The ratio of present ages of Albert and Salim is 5 : 9. Five years hence ratio of their ages will be 3 : 5. Find their present ages.
   
   Solution:
   
   The ratio of present ages of Albert and Salim is 5 : 9
   
   Let the common multiple be x.
   
   ∴ Present age of Albert = 5x years and
   
   Present age of Salim = 9x years
   
   After 5 years,
   
   Albert’s age = (5x + 5) years and
   
   Salim’s age = (9x + 5) years
   
   According to the given condition,
   
   Five years hence ratio of their ages will be 3 : 5
   
   \(\frac{5 x+5}{9 x+5}=\frac{3}{5}\)
   
   ∴ 5(5x + 5) = 3(9x + 5)
   
   ∴ 25x + 25 = 27x + 15
   
   ∴ 25 – 15 = 27 x – 25 x
   
   ∴ 10 = 2x
   
   ∴ x = 5
   
   ∴ Present age of Albert = 5x = 5 x 5 = 25 years
   
   Present age of Salim = 9x = 9 x 5 = 45 years
   
   ∴ The present ages of Albert and Salim are 25 years and 45 years respectively.
  
   iii. The ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle is 3 : 1, and its perimeter is 36 cm. Find the length and breadth of the rectangle.
   
   Solution:
   
   The ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle is 3 : 1
   
   Let the common multiple be x.
   
   Length of the rectangle (l) = 3x cm
   
   and Breadth of the rectangle (b) = x cm
   
   Given, perimeter of the rectangle = 36 cm
   
   Since, Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)
   
   ∴ 36 = 2(3x + x)
   
   ∴ 36 = 2(4x)
   
   ∴ 36 = 8x
   
   ∴ \(x=\frac{36}{8}=\frac{9}{2}=4.5\)
   
   Length of the rectangle = 3x = 3 x 4.5 = 13.5 cm
   
   ∴ The length of the rectangle is 13.5 cm and its breadth is 4.5 cm.
  
   iv. The ratio of two numbers is 31 : 23 and their sum is 216. Find these numbers.
   
   Solution:
   
   The ratio of two numbers is 31 : 23
   
   Let the common multiple be x.
   
   ∴ First number = 31x and
   
   Second number = 23x
   
   According to the given condition,
   
   Sum of the numbers is 216
   
   ∴ 31x + 23x = 216
   
   ∴ 54x = 216
   
   ∴ x = 4
   
   ∴ First number = 31x = 31 x 4 = 124
   
   Second number = 23x = 23 x 4 = 92
   
   ∴ The two numbers are 124 and 92.
  
   v. If the product of two numbers is 360 and their ratio is 10 : 9, then find the numbers.
   
   Solution:
   
   Ratio of two numbers is 10 : 9
   
   Let the common multiple be x.
   
   ∴ First number = 10x and
   
   Second number = 9x
   
   According to the given condition,
   
   Product of two numbers is 360
   
   ∴ (10x) (9x) = 360
   
   ∴ 90x
   
    2
   
   = 360
   
   ∴ x
   
    2
   
   = 4
   
   ∴ x = 2 …. [Taking positive square root on both sides]
   
   ∴ First number = 10x = 10x
   
    2
   
   = 20
   
   Second number = 9x = 9x
   
    2
   
   = 18
   
   ∴ The two numbers are 20 and 18.
  
   Question 5.
   
   If a : b = 3 : 1 and b : c = 5 : 1, then find the value of [3 Marks each]
   
    
   
   Solution:
   
   Given, a : b = 3 : 1
   
   ∴ \(\frac { a }{ b }\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 1 }\)
   
   ∴ a = 3b ….(i)
   
   and b : c = 5 : 1
   
   ∴ \(\frac { b }{ c }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 1 }\)
   
   b = 5c …..(ii)
   
   Substituting (ii) in (i),
   
   we get a = 3(5c)
   
   ∴ a = 15c …(iii)
   
    
  
   Ratio and Proportion 9th Class Practice Set 4.1 Question 6. If \(\sqrt{0.04 \times 0.4 \times a}=0.4 \times 0.04 \times \sqrt{b}\) , then find the ratio \(\frac { a }{ b }\).
   
   Solution:
   
   \(\sqrt{0.04 \times 0.4 \times a}=0.4 \times 0.04 \times \sqrt{b}\) … [Given]
   
   ∴ 0.04 x 0.4 x a = (0.4)
   
    2
   
   x (0.04)
   
    2
   
   x b … [Squaring both sides]
   
    
  
   9th Algebra Practice Set 4.2 Question 7. (x + 3) : (x + 11) = (x – 2) : (x + 1), then find the value of x.
   
   Solution:
   
   (x + 3) : (x + 11) = (x- 2) : (x+ 1)
   
   \(\quad \frac{x+3}{x+11}=\frac{x-2}{x+1}\)
   
   ∴ (x + 3)(x +1) = (x – 2)(x + 11)
   
   ∴ x(x +1) + 3(x + 1) = x(x + 11) – 2(x + 11)
   
   ∴ x
   
    2
   
   + x + 3x + 3 = x
   
    2
   
   + 1 lx – 2x – 22
   
   ∴ x
   
    2
   
   + 4x + 3 = x
   
    2
   
   + 9x – 22
   
   ∴ 4x + 3 = 9x – 22
   
   ∴ 3 + 22 = 9x – 4x
   
   ∴ 25 = 5x
   
   ∴ x = 5
