= (81 ÷ 27) : (108 ÷ 27)

= 3 : 4

(b) 98 to 63

Solution: 98 : 63

= (98 ÷ 7) : (63 ÷ 7)

= 14 : 9

=  3 : 1

(b) Money that she saves to the money she spends.

Solution: Here, Seema spends money = Rs (150000 – 50000) = Rs 100000

∴ 50000 : 100000

= (50000 ÷ 50000) : (100000 ÷ 50000)

= 1 : 2

(9) There are 102 teachers in a school of 3300 students. Find the ratio of the number of teachers to the number of students.

Solution: 102 : 3300

(10) In a college, out of 4320 students, 2300 are girls. Find the ratio of

(a) Number of girls to the total number of students.

Solution: 2300 : 4320

= (2300 ÷ 20) : (4320 ÷ 20)

= 115 : 216

(b) Number of boys to the number of girls.

Solution: Here, the number of boys = (4320 – 2300) = 2020

∴ 2020 : 2300

= (2020 ÷ 20) : (2300 ÷ 20)

= 101 : 115

(c) Number of boys to the total number of students.

Solution : 2020 : 4320

= (2020 ÷ 20) : (4320 ÷ 20)

= 101 : 216

Solution: Here, the number of students whose are playing tennis = 1800 – (750 + 800) = 1800 – 1550 = 250

∴ 750 : 250

= (750 ÷ 250) : (250 ÷ 250)

= 3 : 1

(b) Number of students who opted cricket to the number of students opting basketball.

Solution: 800 : 750

= (800 ÷ 50) : (750 : 50)

(16) Present age of father is 42 years and that of his son is 14 years. Find the ratio of

(a) Present age of father to the present age of son.

Solution: 42 : 14

= (42 ÷ 14) : (14 ÷ 14)

= 3 : 1

(b) Age of the father to the age of son, when son was 12 years old.

Solution: When Son was 12 years old then his father was (42 – 2) = 40 years old.

∴ 40 : 12

= (40 ÷ 4) : (12 ÷ 4)

= 10 : 3

(c) Age of father after 10 years to the age of son after 10 years.

Solution: After 10 years father and son’s age will be 52 years and 24 years.

∴ 52 : 24

= (52 ÷ 4) : (24 ÷ 4)

= 13 : 6

(d) Age of father to the age of son when father was 30 years old.

Solution: When father was 30 years old the age of son was (14 – 12) = 2 years.
