Overview

Ratio and Proportion is a fundamental chapter in mathematics that builds upon concepts learned in earlier classes. This chapter explores the relationship between quantities and introduces advanced properties like componendo, dividendo, alternendo, and invertendo. Understanding these concepts is cruc

Key Concepts

A ratio is a comparison between

A ratio is a comparison between two quantities of the same kind. It is written as a:b or a/b, where 'a' is the antecedent and 'b' is the consequent. F

Compound ratio

Compound ratio: Product of two or more ratios (a:b × c:d = ac:bd). Duplicate ratio: Square of a ratio (a²:b²). Triplicate ratio: Cube of a ratio (a³:b

Four quantities

Four quantities a, b, c, d are in proportion if a:b = c:d, written as a:b::c:d. The fundamental theorem states that product of extremes equals product

When three or more quantities

When three or more quantities are in proportion such that a:b = b:c = c:d, they are in continued proportion. In a:b = b:c, 'b' is the mean proportiona

Invertendo

Invertendo: If a:b = c:d, then b:a = d:c. Alternendo: If a:b = c:d, then a:c = b:d. Componendo: If a:b = c:d, then (a+b):b = (c+d):d. Dividendo: If a:
