Questions Related to ratio and proportion

The subtriplicate ratio of $4913 : 2744$ is ____

  1. $2744 : 4913$

  2. $17 : 14$

  3. $14 : 17$

  4. $23 : 29$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The subtriplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt [3]{a} : \sqrt [3]{b}$
$\therefore$ The subtriplicate ratio of $4913 : 2744$ is $\sqrt [3]{4913} : \sqrt [3]{2744} = 17 : 14$

The subtriplicate ratio of $\sqrt {x} : \sqrt {y}$ is ____

  1. $x^{\frac {1}{9}} : y^{\frac {1}{9}}$

  2. $\sqrt {y} : \sqrt {x}$

  3. $x^{\frac {1}{3}} : y^{\frac {1}{6}}$

  4. $x^{\frac {1}{6}} : y^{\frac {1}{6}}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The subtriplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt [3]{a} : \sqrt [3]{b}$
$\therefore$ The subtriplicate ratio of $\sqrt {x} : \sqrt {y} = x^{\cfrac {1}{2}} : y^{\frac {1}{2}}$ is $(x^{\cfrac {1}{2}})^{\cfrac {1}{3}} : (y^{\cfrac {1}{2}})^{\cfrac {1}{3}}$
$= x^{\cfrac {1}{6}} : y^{\cfrac {1}{6}}$

_____ is the subtriplicate ratio of $64 : 729$

  1. $729 : 64$

  2. $16 : 81$

  3. $4 : 9$

  4. $2 : 3$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The subtriplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt [3]{a} : \sqrt [3]{b}$.
$\therefore$ The subtriplicate ratio of $64 : 729$ is $\sqrt [3]{64} = \sqrt [3]{729} = \sqrt [3]{(4)^{3}} : \sqrt [3]{(9)^{3}} = 4 : 9$.

The sub-triplicate ratio of $3 : 81$ is ____

  1. $81 : 3$

  2. $\sqrt {3} : 3$

  3. $1 : 3$

  4. $\sqrt {3} : 9$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The subtriplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt [3]{a} : \sqrt [3]{b}$
Now, $3 : 81 = \dfrac {3}{81} = \dfrac {1}{27} = 1 : 27$
$\therefore$ The subtriplicate ratio of $1 : 27$ is $\sqrt [3]{1} : \sqrt [3]{27} = 1 : 3$

What is the reciprocal ratio of $4 : 9$

  1. $9 : 4$

  2. $16 : 18$

  3. $8 : 18$

  4. $81 : 16$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The reciprocal ratio of a:ba:b.

____ is the subtriplicate ratio of $216 : 1331$

  1. $8 : 11$

  2. $6 : 13$

  3. $6 : 12$

  4. $6 : 11$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The subtriplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt [3]{a} : \sqrt [3]{b}$.
$\therefore$ The subtriplicate ratio of $216 : 1331$ is $\sqrt [3]{216} : \sqrt [3]{1331} = \sqrt [3]{(6)^{3}} : \sqrt [3]{(11)^{3}}$
$= 6 : 11$

_____ is the subtriplicate ratio of $2 : 3$

  1. $\sqrt [3]{2} : \sqrt [3]{3}$

  2. $2 : 3$

  3. $3 : 2$

  4. $\sqrt {2} : \sqrt {3}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The subtriplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt [3]{a} : \sqrt [3]{b}$
$\therefore$ The subtriplicate ratio of $2 : 3$ is $\sqrt [3]{2} : \sqrt [3]{3}$.

What is the reciprocal ratio of $2 : 3$

  1. $4 : 9$

  2. $3 : 2$

  3. $9 : 4$
