Show AnswerShow How to SolveOpen Rough Workspace
Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve P : Q : R = 2 : 3 : 4 Let P = 2k, Q = 3k, R = 4k. Then, P / Q = 2k / 3k = 2 / 3 Q / R = 3k / 4k = 3 / 4 R / P = 4k / 2k = 2 / 1.
At first we do LCM. And LCM of 2, 3, 4 is 12.
Now we multiplied the LCM value with the ratio numbers, Like, ( 2 / 3 ) x 12 = 8 ( 3 / 4 ) x 12 = 9 ( 2 / 1 ) x 12 = 24
So, the ratio of P / Q : Q / R : R / P is 8 : 9 : 24

Rama gives his pencils between his four friends Rakesh, Rahul, Ranjan, and Rohit in the ratio 1 / 2 : 1 / 3 : 1 / 4 : 1 / 5. What would be the minimum number of pencils Rama should have?
At First we need to do the LCM of 2, 3, 4 and 5. So, LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5 is 60.
Pencils given in ratio among friends are, Rakesh = ( 1 / 2 x 60 ) = 30 Rahul = ( 1 / 3 x 60 ) = 20 Ranjan = ( 1 / 4 x 60 ) = 15 Rohit = ( 1 / 5 x 60 ) = 12
So, total number of pencils are ( 30 + 20 + 15 + 12 ) = 77. Rama should have minimum 77 pencils.

in ratio example 1, question no.3 ratio given is 3,5,8,9 but substituted value is 2 instead of 9. am i right? and,
regarding the same question. 90 is divided into 3 parts but given is 4 ratios..
At first we do LCM of 2, 3, 4 is 12. now we multiplied with ratio numbers , Like, 2 x 12 / 3 = 8 3 x 12 / 4 = 9 2 x 12 / 1 = 24 So,the ratio of P / Q : Q / R : R / P is 8 : 9 : 24
Example 2: If 2P = 3Q = 4R, Then P : Q : R = ? is incorrect This in very simple terms should be as under; no matter you take k or 1 By taking 2P = 3Q = 4R = 1, we have P = ½ Q= 1/3 and R = ¼ So ratio = ½ : 1/3 : ¼ = 6: 4 : 3 (taking LCM as 12). Ans

sry bro you understood the question wrongly.The first number is 40% greater than A, since the percentage of A should be inside 100%, u took it as 140%.
I GUESS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH EXAMPLE 12. Q’s share is 9872 which should be taken as 3x=9872 and hence x=9872/3 am i right? thus share of P and S together is 9x=9*9872/3
I have a problem with example 12. Q’s share is 9872 which should be taken as 3x=9872 hence x=9872/3 P and S ‘s share together = 2x+7x=9x=9*9872/3=29616
If im wrong plz do explain sir… waiting for ur reply…
A will be having 15 marbels Initially A=5k B=7k Now when B gave 3marbles it has 7k-3 and A has 5k+3..….. as both values same equate them 7k-3=5k+3 so k=3 ….so 5k =15

Dear Sir, In Example 4 “Preet Ji” Method is so easy but i want to know how u do.
Example 2:
If 2P = 3Q = 4R, Then P : Q : R = ? is incorrect This in very simple terms should be as under; no matter you take k or 1
By taking 2P = 3Q = 4R = 1, we have P = ½ Q= 1/3 and R = ¼
So ratio = ½ : 1/3 : ¼ = 6: 4 : 3 (taking LCM as 12). Ans

please explain how u keep the value of x=1 in eg.9
if a:b=c:d=e:f
then
a+c:b+d =e:f?
As a:b=c:d
=> a=bc/d
Substitute a in a+c = b+d
we get c(b+d)/d = b+d
cancelling b+d on both sides and substitute c/d as e/f or e:f

u r right.. same doubt with me. guys please do explain this!
I have a ques…
A and B have marbles 5:7. If B gives 3 marbles to A , then the number of marbles each is same. How many marbles did A have initially???
A will be having 15 marbels
Initially A=5k
B=7k
Now when B gave 3marbles it has 7k-3 and A has 5k+3..….. as both values same equate them
7k-3=5k+3 so k=3 ….so 5k =15
In Example no 12 actual ans is 295290 because 9872 is Q’s share but not total amount to multiply directly is it?
Sir I have problem in ex.12
It should be like this,
3/13×x=9872
X=9872×13/3
But my ans is not match
Plz help me
