Exercise 12.2 - Chapter 12 Ratio and proportion class 6 ncert solutions Maths - SaraNextGen [2024]


Question 1:

Determine if the following are in proportion.

(a) 15, 45, 40, 120 (b) 33, 121, 9, 96

(c) 24, 28, 36, 48 (d) 32, 48, 70, 210

(e) 4, 6, 8, 12 (f) 33, 44, 75, 100

Answer:

(a) 15, 45, 40, 120

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2878/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_38bb6179.gif

Therefore, 15: 45 = 40: 120

Hence, these are in proportion.

(b) 33, 121, 9, 96

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2878/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_12448a87.gif

Therefore, 33: 121 ≠ 9: 96

Hence, these are not in proportion.

(c) 24, 28, 36, 48

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2878/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_m50c1f8fe.gif

Therefore, 24: 28 ≠ 36: 48

Hence, these are not in proportion.

(d) 32, 48, 70, 210

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2878/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_m17a8eb12.gif

Therefore, 32: 48 ≠ 70: 210

Hence, these are not in proportion.

(e) 4, 6, 8, 12

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2878/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_m6572666c.gif

Therefore, 4: 6 = 8: 12

Hence, these are in proportion.

(f) 33, 44, 75, 100

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2878/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_m691739dc.gif

Therefore, 33: 44 = 75: 100

Hence, these are in proportion.

Question 2:

Write True (T) or False (F) against each of the following statements:

(a) 16:24::20:30 (b) 21:6::35:10

(c) 12:18::28:12 (d) 8:9::24:27

(e) 5.2:3.9::3:4 (f) 0.9:0.36::10:4

Answer:

(a) 16: 24:: 20: 30

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2889/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_1ac02d45.gif

Therefore, 16: 24 = 20: 30

Hence, True

(b) 21: 6:: 35: 10

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2889/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_m15c80694.gif

Therefore, 21: 6 = 35: 10

Hence, True

(c) 12: 18:: 28: 12

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2889/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_dcd26b9.gif

Therefore, 12: 18 ≠ 28: 12

Hence, False

(d) 8: 9:: 24: 27

Ashttps://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2889/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_38fd9a15.gif ,

Therefore, True

(e) 5.2: 3.9:: 3: 4

As https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2889/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_26d2e5d2.gif ,

Therefore, 5.2: 3.9 ≠ 3: 4

Hence, False

(f) 0.9: 0.36:: 10: 4

https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/6/1/12/2889/Exercise%20-%2012_SS_html_mbaa428d.gif

Therefore, 0.9: 0.36 = 10: 4

Hence, True
