CHAPTER # 1

RATIO, PROPORTION, INDICES & LOGARITHMS

! A ratio is a comparison of the sizes of two or more same kind quantities.

! If a and b are two quantities of the same kind (in same units) then the fraction a/b is called ratio of a to b. It is written as a : b

! The quantities a and b are called the terms of ratio.

a : b

First Terms Second Terms (Antecedent) Consequent

« a & b must be same kind.« The units of a & b must be same.« Ratio always represent in simplest term.« Importance of order.for Example

- Find ratio between 150 gm & 2 kg.150 gm 2 kg (Same kind quantities because both quantities belong to weight)

150 gm 2000gm (unit must be same, convert kg into gm)

150 : 2000 (Ratio always represent is simplest term)15 : 2003 : 40

So ratio of 150 gm to 2 kg is 3:40 we cannot write it 40 : 3 because the order of the term in a ratio is important.

5. Sub-Duplicate Ratio

6. Sub-Triplicate Ratio

Some Important Points :

1. A ratio a : b is said to be of greater inequality if a > b.2. A ratio a : b is said to be of less inequality if a < b.3. If the ratio of two similar quantities can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, the quantities are said to be

commensurable.4. If the ratio of two similar quantities can be expressed as a ratio of two non-integers, the quantities are said to be

incommensurable.5. Continued ratio is the relation between the magnitudes of three or more quantities.

Solved Example :

1. Find Ratio between 25 minute and 45 Seconds

25 min : 45 second (Same kind quantities)(25 x 60) sec. : 45 sec. (same unit)100 : 3 (simplify term)

so ratio is 100 : 3

2. Simplify the ratio : :

: :

8 : 3 : 424

so ratio is 8 : 3 : 4

3. Simplify ratio 2.5 : 5.45 : 4

2.5 : 5.45 : 42.50 : 5.45 : 4.00250 : 545 : 40050 : 109 : 80

5. If 2s : 3t is the duplicate ratio of 2s - p : 3t - p then find the value of p² ?

Solution :

= (According the question)

12s²t + 3p²t - 12spt = 18st² + 2sp² - 12spt

12s²t + 3p²t = 18st² + 2sp²

3p²t - 2sp² = 18st² - 12s²t

! An equality of two ratios is called a proportion.

! Four quantities a, b, c, d are said to be in proportion if.

a: b = c : dor

a : b :: c : d

! Law of proportion/cross product rule

Product of means = product of extremes bc = ad

Continuous Proportion

Three quantities a, b, c of the same kind (in same units) are said to be in continuous proportion ifa : b = b : c

by cross product rule b² = ac

b = √ac

« b is called mean proportional between a & c and it is equals to √ac

« a is the first proportional

« c is the third proportional

! Properties of logarithms

(a) log (m x n) = log m + log na a a

(b) log (m/n) = log m - log na a a

n(c) log m = nlog ma a
