What is Ratio?

A ratio is a relationship between two numbers by division of the same kind. The ration of a to b is written as a : b = a / b. In ratio a : b, we can say that a as the first term or antecedent and b the second term or consequent.

Example
The ratio 4 : 9 can be represented as 4 / 9. So, Antecedent = 4 and Consequent = 9.
 

 

Rule of Ratio

In ratio multiplication or division of each an every term of a ratio by the same non-zero number does not affect the ratio.

If a : b = c : d, then we can write a : b : : c : d
Here, a and d is called extremes AND b and c is called mean terms.

Example
3 / 15 = 1 / 5
 

 

Proportion of Quantities

The four quantities like a, b, c, d are proportion, then we can express it as
a : b = c : d
Then, a : b : : c : d  <–> ( a x d ) = ( b x c )
Product of means = Product of extremes.

If there is given three quantities like a, d, c of same like, then we can say it’s proportion are continued.
a : d = d : c
Here d is called mean term AND a and c are called extremes.

      Hey karthik listen
      actually there is 20 litres of mixture has been given ok
      And now he said that 4litres of mixture is replaced by 4 litres of milk isnt it
      So replacing means we have to subtract some quantity and we should add some other qauntity isnt it
      So first he subtracted that 4 litres of muxture ok then remaining will be 16 litres ok
      Then in that 16 litres first u should know how much quantity of milk is present bcoz if u know that quantity then after adding extra u can know total quantity of milk in 20 litres
      So in 16 litres u will get 10 litres as milk
      So for that 10 litres u can add new 4 litres of milk it will bcm 14.litres so in 20 rremaing 6 will be water so ratio of milk and water will be 14:6=7:3
