Ratio and Proportion - MCQ | Quantitative Aptitude Test - Ratio and Proportion


The ratio of two quantities a and b is the fraction a/b, represented by a:b. Here, a abd b are also called the terms of the ratio. The multiplication or division of each term in the ratio by the same non-zero number does not change the ratio. For. e.g each term in the ratio 4:5 if multiplied by 2, gives 8:10 which is equal to the original ratio 4:5.

If two ratios are equal, then we can say that the ratios are in proportion. i.e. if a:b = c:d, then we can say a,b,c, and d are in prportion. And we can write a:b :: c:d
