Questions Related to composition of ratios

____ 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 $\sqrt [3]{2} : \sqrt [3]{3}$.
