If 3/5 of x is equal to 4/9 of y, then what is the ratio of x and y?

 

Let the salaries of Maneela and Shanthi one year before be M1, S1 & now be M2, S2 respectively.

Then, from the given data,

M1/S1 = 3/4  .....(1)

M1/M2 = 4/5 .....(2)

S1/S2 = 2/3  .....(3)

and M2 + S2 = 4160  .....(4)

Solving all these eqtns, we get M2 = Rs. 1600.

Given ratio of pens and pencils = 3 :2

Number of Pens = 3x

Number of Pencils = 2x

Average number of pencils & Pens = 3x + 2x2 = 180

5x = 360

=> x = 72

Hence, the number of pencils = 2x = 72 x 2 = 144.

Let the ratio be 'R'

Total number of students = 1050

Then,

9R + 5R = 1050

14R = 1050

=> R = 75

Hence, the number of boys = 9R = 9 x 75 = 675

$$\begin{gathered} 3 \\ 32 + 3 = 12 \\ 5 \\ 52 + 5 = 30 \end{gathered}$$

Let ratio of the incomes of Pavan and Amar be 4x and 3x

and Ratio of their expenditures be 3y and 2y

4x - 3y = 1889 ......... I

and

3x - 2y = 1889 ...........II

I and II

y = 1889

and x = 1889

Pavan's income = 7556

Maneela lent Rs. 8000 in two parts,

Let the total population be 'p'

Given ratio of male and female in a city is 7 : 8

In that percentage of children among male and female is 25% and 20%

=> Adults male and female % = 75% & 80%

But given adult females is = 156800

=> 80%(8p/15) = 156800

=> 80 x 8p/15 x 100 = 156800

=> p = 156800 x 15 x 100/80 x 8

=> p = 367500

Therefore, the total population of the city = p = 367500

Let the two numbers be x and y

Given x : y = 3 : 7 .....(1)

Now, x+6 : y+6 = 5 : 9 .....(2)

From (1), x = 3y/7

From (2), 5y - 9x = 24

=> 5y - 9(3y/7) = 24

=> y = 21

=> From(1), x = 9

Hence, the two numbers be 9 and 21
