EXERCISE 10D
OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS
Mark (√) against the correct answer in each of the following:
(1) The ratio 92 : 115 in its simplest form is
Ans: (d) 4 : 5
92 : 115
=92115=92÷23115÷23=45
= 4 : 5
(2) If 57 : x : : 51 : 85, then the value of x is
Ans: (a) 95
51×x=57×85
or,x=484551=95
(3) If 25 : 35 : : 45 : x, then the value of x is
Ans: (a) 63
25×x=35×45
or,x=157525=63
(4) If 4 : 5 : : x : 35, then the value of x is
Ans: (c) 28
5×x=4×35
or,x=1405=28
(5) If a, b, c, d are in proportion, then
Ans: (b) ad = bc
Here, we can write a : b : : c : d
We know that, Product of extremes = Product of means
(6) If a, b, c are in proportion, then
Ans: (b)
Here, we can write a : b : : b : c
We know that, Product of extremes = Product of means
(7) Choose the correct statement:
Ans: (b) (5 : 8) < (3 : 4)
(8) If Rs 760 is divided between A and B in the ratio 8 : 11, then B’s share is
Ans: (a) Rs 440
Total money = Rs 760
Sum of ratio term = (8 + 11) = 19
B’s share=Rs760×1119=Rs440
(9) Two numbers are in the ratio 5 : 7 and the sum of these numbers is 252. The larger of these numbers is
Ans: (d) 147
let the number required number is x.
So,5x+7x=252or,12x=252or,x=25212or,x=21
Hence the largest number is (7 x 21)=147.
(10) The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 5 and its perimeter is 90 cm. The length of its largest side is
Ans: (b) 50 cm
Let the required number is x cm.
So,1x+3x+5x=90or,9x=90or,x=909or,x=10
Hence the largest side is (5 x 10) = 50 cm.
(11) The ratio of boys and girls in a school is 12 : 5. If the number of girls is 840, the total strength of the school is
Ans: (c) 2856
Let the required students of the school is x.
So,5x=840or,x=8405or,x=168
Hence, the total strength is (12 x 168 + 840) = 2856.
(12) If the cost of 12 pens is Rs 138, then the cost of 14 such pen is
Ans: (b) Rs 161
(13) If 24 workers can build a wall in 15 days, how many days will 8 workers take to build a similar wall?
Ans: (b) 45 days
(14) If 40 men can finish a piece of work in 26 days, how many men will be required to finish it in 20 days?
Ans: (a) 52
(15) In covering 111 km, a car consuming 6 L of petrol. How many kilometers will it go in 10 L of petrol.
Ans: (b) 185 km
(16) In a fort, 550 men had provisions for 28 days. How many days will it last for 700 men?
Ans: (a) 22 days
(17) The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 1 : 2. The measure of the largest angle is
Ans: (c) 90o
Let the required angle is xo
So,3x+1x+2x=180or,6x=180or,x=1806or,x=30
Hence, the largest angle is (3 x 30) = 90o
(18) Length and breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 5 : 4. If the width of the field is 36 m, what is its length?
Ans: (b) 45 m
Let the length of the field is x m.
So,4x=36or,x=364or,x=9
Hence, the length is (5 x 9) = 45 m.
(19) If a bus covers 195 km in 3 hours and a train covers 300 km in 4 hours, then the ratio of their speeds is
Ans: (a) 13 : 15
195 km : 3 h = 195 : 3
=1953=65
300 km : 4 h = 300 : 4
=3004=75 Hence,65:75=65÷575÷5=1315=13:15
(20) If the cost of 5 bars soap is Rs 82.50, then the cost of one dozen such bars is
Ans: (c) Rs 198
(21) If the cost of 30 packets of 8 pencils each is Rs 600, what is the cost of 25 packets of 12 pencils each?
Ans: (b) Rs 750
(22) A rail journey of 75 km costs Rs 215. How much will a journey of 120 km cost?
Ans: (a) Rs 344
(23) The 1st, 2nd and 4th terms of a proportion are 12, 21 and 14 respectively. Its third term is
Ans: (d) 8
Let the third term is x.
So,21×x=12×14or,x=16821or,x=8
(24) 10 boys can dig a pitch in 12 hours. How long will 8 boys take to do it?
Ans: (b) 15 h
