English : Hindi = 6 : 7
Substitute 156 in the place of English
156 : Hindi = 6 : 7
We know that product of extreme terms = product of mean terms
156 * 7 = Hindi * 6
Hindi = $$\frac { 1092 }{ 6 }$$ = 182

$$\frac { 22 × 21 }{ 38 × 21 }$$ = $$\frac { 462 }{ 798 }$$
$$\frac { 38 × 19 }{ 42 × 19 }$$ = $$\frac { 722 }{ 798 }$$
Now, we can compare $$\frac { 462 }{ 798 }$$ and $$\frac { 722 }{ 798 }$$
462 is less than 722.
$$\frac { 462 }{ 798 }$$ < $$\frac { 722 }{ 798 }$$

Therefore, 22 : 38 < 38 : 42.

$$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ ∶ $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ can write as $$\frac { 4 }{ 3 }$$
Firstly, find the LCM of the 2 and 3.
The LCM of the 2 and 3 is 6.
$$\frac { 3 × 3 }{ 2 × 3 }$$ = $$\frac { 9 }{ 6 }$$
$$\frac { 4 × 2 }{ 3 × 2 }$$ = $$\frac { 8 }{ 6 }$$
Now, we can compare $$\frac { 9 }{ 6 }$$ and $$\frac { 8 }{ 6 }$$
9 is greater than 8.
$$\frac { 3 }{ 2 }$$ > $$\frac { 4 }{ 3 }$$

Therefore, 1 ∶ $$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ > $$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ ∶ $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$.

Firstly, find the LCM of the 15 and 3.
The LCM of the 2 and 3 is 6.
$$\frac { 3 × 3 }{ 2 × 3 }$$ = $$\frac { 9 }{ 6 }$$
$$\frac { 4 × 2 }{ 3 × 2 }$$ = $$\frac { 8 }{ 6 }$$
Now, we can compare $$\frac { 9 }{ 6 }$$ and $$\frac { 8 }{ 6 }$$
9 is greater than 8.
$$\frac { 3 }{ 2 }$$ > $$\frac { 4 }{ 3 }$$

Therefore, 1 ∶ $$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ > $$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ ∶ $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$.

y : z = $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$ ∶ $$\frac { 1 }{ 5 }$$ can write as $$\frac { 5 }{ 4 }$$
To get x : z, multiply x/y and y/z
x/y × y/z = x/z
$$\frac { 4 }{ 3 }$$ × $$\frac { 5 }{ 4 }$$
x/z = $$\frac { 5 }{ 3 }$$

Therefore, the final answer is x : z = $$\frac { 5 }{ 3 }$$.

a : b = 12 : 14 can write as $$\frac { 12 }{ 14 }$$ : 1
b : c = 6 : 10 can write as 1 : $$\frac { 10 }{ 6 }$$
Therefore, p : q : r = $$\frac { 12 }{ 14 }$$ : 1 : $$\frac { 10 }{ 6 }$$
Taking the L.C.M. of 14 and 6
The L.C.M. of 14 and 6 is 42.
= $$\frac { 12 }{ 14 }$$ × 42 : 1 × 42 : $$\frac { 10 }{ 6 }$$ × 42
= 36 : 42 : 70 = 18 : 21 : 35

The first number = 3a = 3 × 4 = 12
The second number = 2a = 2 × 4 = 8
Also, the second number = 5a = 5 × 4 = 20

Therefore, the three numbers are 12, 8, and 20.

14. A certain amount is divided into two parts in the ratio of 8: 10. If the first part is 240, find the total?

Solution:

Given that a certain amount is divided into two parts in the ratio 8: 10. The first part is equal to 240.
From the given data, let the numbers are 8a and 10a.
Now, calculate a from 8a = 240.
a = $$\frac { 240 }{ 8 }$$
a = 30
Now, substitute the a value to find the second part.
The second part = 10a = 10 × 30 = 300.
Now, add the first part and second part to find out the total.
Total = 240 + 300 = 540

Therefore, the total amount is 540.

15. Divide $688 into three parts such that the first part is 4/3 of the second and the ratio between the second and third is 8: 10. Solution: Given that$688 divided into three parts such that the first part is 4/3 of the second and the ratio between the second and third is 8: 10
From the given data, let the common multiple of these ratio = a.
Then, the second and third ratio = 8a and 10a
Given that the first part is 4/3 of the second part
The first part is $$\frac { 4 }{ 3 }$$ × 8a = $$\frac { 32a }{ 3 }$$
Given $$\frac { 32a }{ 3 }$$ + 8a + 10a = $688 Given $$\frac { 86a }{ 3 }$$ =$688
86a = $2064 Now, calculate a from 86a =$2064.
a = $$\frac { 2064 }{ 86 }$$
a = 24
Now, substitute the a value to find the answer.
The first part = $$\frac { 32a }{ 3 }$$ = $$\frac { 32 }{ 3 }$$ × 24 = 256.
The second part = 8a = 8 × 24 = 192.
The third part = 10a = 10 × 24 = 240.

Therefore, the final answer is 256, 192, 240.

16. Divide 216 bottles of juice between A and B in the ratio $$\frac { 2 }{ 5 }$$ : $$\frac { 2 }{ 7 }$$.

Solution:

Given that 216 bottles of juice divided between A and B in the ratio $$\frac { 2 }{ 5 }$$ : $$\frac { 2 }{ 7 }$$
From the given data, let the common multiple of these ratio = a.
Then, the first and second numbers are = $$\frac { 2a }{ 5 }$$ and $$\frac { 2a }{ 7 }$$
Now, add $$\frac { 2a }{ 5 }$$ and $$\frac { 2a }{ 7 }$$
$$\frac { 2a }{ 5 }$$ + $$\frac { 2a }{ 7 }$$ = $$\frac { 24a }{ 35 }$$
Now, calculate a from $$\frac { 24a }{ 35 }$$ = 216.
a = $$\frac { 7560 }{ 24 }$$
a = 315
Now, substitute the a value to find the answer.
The first part = $$\frac { 2 }{ 5 }$$ a = $$\frac { 2 }{ 5 }$$ × 315 = 126.
The second part = $$\frac { 2 }{ 7 }$$ a = $$\frac { 2 }{ 7 }$$ × 315 = 90.

Therefore, the final answer is 126, and 90.

17. The sides of the quadrilateral are in the ratio 2: 4: 6: 8 and the perimeter is 80 cm. Find the length of each side?

Solution:

Given that the sides of the quadrilateral are in the ratio 2 : 4 : 6 : 8 and the perimeter is 80 cm.
From the given data, let the common multiple of these ratio = a.
Add 2a, 4a, 6a, and 8a.
2a + 4a + 6a + 8a = 80.
20a = 80
a = 80/20 = 4
Now, substitute the a value to find the answer.
The first part = 2a = 2 × 4 = 8.
The second part = 4a = 4 × 4 = 16.
Also, the third part = 6a = 6 × 4 = 24.
The fourth part = 8a = 8 × 4 = 32.

Therefore, the length of each side is 8, 16, 24, and 32.
