Here in this page we give few examples on Ratio shortcut tricks. All tricks on Ratio Example are provided here. We request all visitors to read all examples carefully. These examples here will help you to better understand shortcut tricks on ratio example.
Before doing anything we recommend you to do a math practice set. Write down twenty math problems related to this topic on a page. Do first ten maths using basic formula of this math topic. You also need to keep track of the time. After solving all ten math questions write down total time taken by you to solve those questions. Now go through our page for ratio shortcut trick. After this do remaining ten questions and apply shortcut formula on those math problems. Again keep track of timing. The timing will be surely improved this time. But this is not all you need. If you need to improve your timing more then you need to practice more.
Things to Remember
We all know that the most important thing in competitive exams is Mathematics. That doesn’t mean that other topics are less important. You can get a good score only if you get a good score in math section. You can get good score only by practicing more and more. All you need to do is to do math problems correctly within time, and you can do this only by using shortcut tricks. Again it does not mean that you can’t do maths without using shortcut tricks. You may do math problems within time without using any shortcut tricks. You may have that potential. But other peoples may not do the same. For those we prepared this ratio shortcut tricks.

Show AnswerShow How to SolveOpen Rough Workspace
Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve 4x / 9x + 32 = 4 / 17 68x = 36x + 128 x = 4
So, the number of boys in the school is (4 x 4) = 16.

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve Root of 64 and 49 is √8 x √7 = 8 x 7 = 56.
So, the mean proportion is 56.

Example #6 Rs.385/- were divided among P, Q, R in such a way that P had Rs.20/- more than Q and R had Rs.15/- more than P. How much was R’s share?
Rs.149/-
Rs.145/-
Rs.155/-
Rs.160/-
Show AnswerShow How to SolveOpen Rough Workspace
Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve Let, Q gets Rs.X. So, We can say that P gets ( X + 20 ) and R gets ( X + 35 ).
Now, Q + P + R = 385 X + ( X + 20 ) + ( X + 35 ) = 385 X + X + 20 + X + 35 = 385 3X = 385 – 20 – 35 3X = 330 X = 110
So, R’s share is ( 110 + 35 ) = Rs.145/-.

Example #7 Rs.1210/- were divided among three person P, Q, R in the ratio of P : Q = 5 : 4 and Q : R = 9 : 10. So, what amount will R gets?
Rs.460/-
Rs.420/-
Rs.300/-
Rs.400/-
Show AnswerShow How to SolveOpen Rough Workspace
Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve P : Q = 5 : 4 Q : R = 9 : 10 = ( 9 x 4 / 9 ) : ( 10 x 4 / 9 ) = 4 : 40 / 9 So, P : Q : R = 5 : 4 : 40 /9 = 45 : 36 : 40
Sum of ratio terms is = ( 45 + 36 + 40 ) = 121 So, R’s share amount is ( 1210 x 40 / 121 ) = Rs.400/-.

Example #8 Rs.64000/- are divided among three friends in the ratio of 3 / 5 : 2 / 1 : 5 / 3. What will be the share of the second friend?
Rs.32000/-
Rs.25000/-
Rs.30000/-
Rs.28000/-
Show AnswerShow How to SolveOpen Rough Workspace
Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve Here the given ratio is = 3 / 5 : 2 / 1 : 5 / 3 = 9 : 30 : 25
So, the Share of the second friend will be ( 64000 x 30 / 64 ) = 30000.
Rough Workspace
Example #9 Which of the following ratio is the greatest? 7 : 15, 15 : 23, 17 : 25, 21 : 29
Example #10 What number has to be added to each term of 3 : 5 to make the ratio 5 : 6.
4
5
6
7
Show AnswerShow How to SolveOpen Rough Workspace
Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve Let, the number to be added is x then, ( 3 + x ) / ( 5 + x ) = 5 / 6 6 ( 3 + x ) = 5 ( 5 + x ) x = ( 25 – 18 ) = 7
So , the number to be added is 7.

Example #11 On dividing a sum of Rs.832/- between Paul and John in the ratio 5 : 3, what will be their shares?
Paul = Rs.520/- and John = Rs.312/-
Paul = Rs.312/- and John = Rs.520/-
Paul = Rs.512/- and John = Rs.320/-
Paul = Rs.320/- and John = Rs.512/-
Show AnswerShow How to SolveOpen Rough Workspace
Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve The given ratio is = 5 : 3 Paul’s share will be ( 832 x 5 / 8 ) = Rs.520/- John’s share will be ( 832 x 3 / 8 ) = Rs.312/-
So, their shares are Rs.520/- and Rs.312/-.

Example #12 A certain amount was divided between A and B in the ratio of 4 : 3. If B’s share was Rs.4800/-, what was the total amount?
Rs.11800/-
Rs.11200/-
Rs.10200/-
Rs.10800/-
Show AnswerShow How to SolveOpen Rough Workspace
Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve If, B’s share is 3 And sum of ratio terms is = ( 4 + 3 ) = 7
Now, B’s share is 4800 then sum of share amount is = ( 7 / 3 x 4800 ) = 11200.

Example #13 The Salary of Three friend A, B, C are divided into ratio 5 : 6 : 8. If the increment has given of 10%, 20%, 25%, then find the new ratio of three friend salary?
11X / 10 : 9X / 5 : 10X / 4
11X / 5 : 36X / 5 : 10X / 4
55X / 10 : 36X / 5 : 40X / 4
55X / 5 : 36X / 10 : 40X / 8
Show AnswerShow How to SolveOpen Rough Workspace
Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve We assume ratio as 5x, 6x and 8x Now the increment of new salary of A is 10% = 110 / 100 B is 20% = 120 / 100 C is 25% = 125 / 100
A,s new salary is 110 x 5X / 100 = 55X / 10 B,s new salary is 120 x 6X / 100 = 36X / 5 C,s new salary is 125 x 8X / 100 = 10
So, the new ratio is 55X / 10 : 36X / 5 : 40X / 4.

in the 4th sum mistake rshare will be 1210*40/121=400 but in the sum 1210*36/121=400 given this step will be mistake. pls make it correct.
there are lots of mistake in the question.for example, in 6 th sum value of R had is given as rs15 in the question but rs 35 is taken as r value in the solution..

in the 4th sum mistake
rshare will be 1210*40/121=400
but in the sum
1210*36/121=400 given this step will be mistake. pls make it correct.
thank u amalesh….
example6 war wong . the correct ratio is 9:30:25
thank u chandu…
e.g no.1 how 8come
sum of ratio terms 3 + 5 = 8
In the 9th ex it is 11200 instead of 1120.
i can’t understand ration example 2 second sum how 110,120,125 came
10% = 110/100, 20% = 120 /100, 25% = 125/100 increment salary
qs no 2 not understand
In example 12 answer is correct but the step seems incorrect
3x=4800 therefore x=4800/3
total amount=4x+3x=7x=7*(4800/3)=7*1600=11200
Can we solved Que no 6 like this
P=120,Q=100,R=135
24:20:27
385*27/71
146
how to calculate ex.9 to easily tel some quick to find.
7/15=0.466
answer for example 1 is wrong it should be 4:5
let no. of men = 100 , no. of women = 100
now , 20% of 100 = 20 , 1/4 of 100 = 25
men:women = 20 / 25 ==> 4:5
Ex-6
x+20+x+x+35=385
3x=330
sir kindly explain it once again
there are lots of mistake in the question.for example, in 6 th sum value of R had is given as rs15 in the question but rs 35 is taken as r value in the solution..
