RATIO & PROPORTION :- Points to remember

RATIO AND

PROPORTION.

Introduction and Main points.

  • Ratio :- ratio is a comparison of two or more quantities of the same kind by division.    Ex:-  the ratio between two weights 35kgs and 65 kgs.
  • The term a:b first term a is called antecedent in the second term b is called consequent.
  • Ratio exists only between quantities of the same kind.
  • Quantities to be compared must be in the same units.
  • The order of terms in the ratio is important.
  • A  ratio as no units.
  • Usually a ratio is expressed in lowest terms.
  • Duplicate ratio of a:b is a² : b².
  • Sub-duplicate ratio of a:b is √a: √b.
  • Triplicate ratio of a:b is a³:b³  .
  • Sub-triplicate ratio of a:b is ³√a : ³√ b  .
  • one ratio is inverse of another is their product is 1.
  • compound ratio of a:b , c:d and e:f   is a×c×e : b×d×f . i.e, the product of the antecedent : product of the consequent.
  • Compounded ratio is the ratio between three are more quantities of same kind is called their continued ratio.  For,suppose the continued ratio of a,b,c can be written as a:b:c.

Quartile deviation all formulas with examples.

 QUARTILE DEVIATION In measures of dispersion the first concept is Range which we have completed earlier in previous blog. If you want visit again CLICK HERE => RANGE Now, we have to start the 2nd topic, Quartile Deviation. CONCEPT suppose think there is a number line staring from 0 and ending with 8. Now I asked you divide this number line into 4 equal parts. You may show like this                      Q1.            Q2           Q3.                                   |              |               |           0—–1——2–—3–—4–—5——6–—7–—8 So, you divided like this. There are 4 parts divided by using 3 lines. These lines are named as quartiles. For every 25% area on number ...
