Ramesh deposited ₹ 2050 in a bank and in the month of January he withdrew ₹ 410 from his account on the last date of the month. Find the ratio of
(a) Money withdrawn to the total money deposited.
(b) Money withdrawn to the remaining amount in the bank.

Amount of money left in the bank = ₹ 2050 – ₹ 410 = ₹ 1640
(a) Ratio of money withdrawn to the total money deposited
Ratio and Proportion Class 6 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 12
∴ Required ratio = 1 : 5
(b) Ratio of money withdrawn to the money left in the bank
Ratio and Proportion Class 6 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 12
∴ Required ratio = 1 : 4

Question 8.
There are 180 students in a class. Number of girls are 75. Find the ratio of the girls to the number of boys.
Solution:
Total number of students = 180
Number of girls = 75
Number of boys = 180 – 75 = 105
∴ Ratio of number of girls to the number of boys

Question 9.
Green paint is made by mixing blue, yellow and white paints in the ratio 2 : 7 : 1. How much blue paint is needed to make 64 litres of green paint?
Solution:
Here, sum of ratios = 2 + 7 + 1 = 10
∴ Total quantity of green paint = 64 litres
Quantity of blue paint = \frac { 2 }{ 10 }x 64 = 12.8 litres
Therefore, the required blue paint = 12.8 litres.

Question 10.
From the figure, find the ratio of
(a) The number of squares to the number of triangles.
(b) The number of circles to the number of rectangles.

Ratio and Proportion Class 6 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 12
Solution:
(a) Number of squares = 2
Number of triangles = 3 2
∴ Ratio = \frac { 2 }{ 3 }or 2 : 3

(b) Number of circles = 3
Number of rectangles = 3
∴ Ratio = \frac { 3 }{ 3 }or 1 : 1

Question 11.

Solution:
(a) Number of shaded parts = 4
Number of unshaded parts = 12
Ratio and Proportion Class 6 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 12
Required ratio = 1 : 3

(b) Number of shaded parts = 2
Number of unshaded parts = 4
Ratio and Proportion Class 6 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 12
Required ratio = 1 : 2

Question 12.
Are 20, 25, 12, 15 in proportion?
Solution:
We have 20, 25, 12, 15
Product of extremes = 20 x 15 = 300
Product of middles = 25 x 12 = 300
Since both the products are same.
∴ The four numbers 20, 25, 12, 15 are in proportion.

Question 13.
The first, second and fourth terms in a proportion are 32, 112, 217 respectively. Find the third term.
Solution:
Let the third term be x.
∴ 32, 112, x and 217 are in proportion.
∴ 32 : 112 :: x : 217
Ratio and Proportion Class 6 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 12
Thus, the third term = 62.

Question 14.
Find the value of x, if
(а) 8, x, x, 50 are in proportion.
(b) 36, 90, 90, x are in proportion.
Solution:
(a) Since 8, x, x, 50, are in proportion.
∴ x × x = 8 × 50
⇒ x2 = 400
∴ x = 20

(b) Since 36, 90, 90, x are in proportion.
∴ 36 × x = 90 × 90
⇒ x = \frac { 90\times 90 }{ 36 }= 225
∴ x = 225

Question 15.
The cost of 10 tables is ₹ 7500. Find the number of tables that can be purchased with ₹ 9000.
Solution:
Number of tables purchased in ₹ 7500 = 10
Number of tables purchased in ₹ 1 = \frac { 10 }{ 7500 }
∴ Number of tables purchased in ₹ 9000
= \frac { 10\times 9000 }{ 7500 }= 12

Question 16.
39 packets of 12 pens each costs ₹ 374.40. Find the cost of 52 packets of 10 pens each.
Solution:
Number of pens in 1 packet = 12
Number of pens in 39 packets = 12 x 39 = 468
Number of pens in 1 packet = 10
Number of pens in 52 packets = 10 x 52 = 520
Now cost of 468 pen = ₹ 374.40
