That\u2019s 6\u201310% of the section.<\/strong> In short, it&#8217;s not a frequently asked topic in the Quantitative Aptitude section. So, on average, you can expect around 1 question from this topic. It is not as important as other topics like Number Series, Data Interpretation (DI), and Quadratic Equations. But you should not ignore it. And you should be prepared to quickly solve even if any question on this topic that appears in the exam. And you can do so, even if you understand the basics and apply the right shortcuts, you can solve these questions quickly and accurately. Ratio and Proportion questions are pure logic and calculation. In this blog, we will explain Ratio and Proportion in simple words, give you important formulas, and share smart shortcuts to save your time in the real exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/rbi-grade-b-test-series\/?ref=13912\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Attempt a Free RBI Grade B Free Mock Test To Know Your AIR<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/how-to-score-maximum-marks-in-cloze-test-for-rbi-grade-b-exam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Score Maximum Marks in Cloze Test<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Formulas To Know For Ratio &amp; Proportion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ratio &amp; Proportion is one of the basic and must-know topics to start your RBI Grade B Phase 1 Quantitative Aptitude preparation.<\/strong> First, go through the table to get a quick overview of all the important Ratio &amp; Proportion concepts with short explanations. Once you are clear with the basics, start practicing the questions given along with detailed solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Ratio &amp; Proportion Topics<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Explanation Of Topics<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ratio Formula<\/td><td>The ratio of any two quantities (p, q) is p: q = p\/q<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Types of Ratios<\/td><td>Types of Ratios: Compounded, Duplicate &amp; Sub-Duplicate,&nbsp;Triplicate &amp; Sub-Triplicate, and ratios of&nbsp;Equalities &amp; Inequalities.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Proportion Formula<\/td><td>The proportion between two ratios (p:q and m:n) is p\/q = m\/n or p:q::m:n.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Types of Proportion<\/td><td>Direct, Compound, Inverse, and Continued.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Ratio and Proportion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A ratio compares quantities. That is to say, A:B = 2:3. It means, for every 2 parts of A, there are 3 parts of B. The meaning of proportion is that two ratios are equal. If 2:3 = 4:6, both show the same relationship. hence, in the exam, you may need to find a missing value, divide an amount in a ratio, or compare quantities fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Ratio and Proportion Matter for RBI Grade B Exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ratio &amp; Proportion questions often appear in <strong>Data Interpretation<\/strong>, <strong>Simplification<\/strong>, and <strong>Word Problems<\/strong>. Many DI questions are based on ratio comparisons. So, mastering them helps in multiple areas. Why? Because, simple formulas save time. And this is important in Phase 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic Concepts You Must Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some basic concepts that one must be aware of to deal with all types of questions that pop up in the Quantitative Aptitude or Numerical Ability section of the RBI Grade B Phase 1 exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the main concepts that you must master to master this topic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Ratio Formula:<\/strong> Ratio = Quantity 1 \/ Quantity 2 (written as a : b)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Proportion Formula:<\/strong> If a:b = c:d, then a \u00d7 d = b \u00d7 c (cross multiplication rule).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Finding a Third Quantity:<\/strong> If a:b = m:n and b:c = p:q, then a:c = m\u00d7p : n\u00d7q.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Dividing an Amount in a Ratio:<\/strong> If a sum S is to be divided in the ratio m:n:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Share of first = (m \/ total parts) \u00d7 S<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share of second = (n \/ total parts) \u00d7 S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example 1: Simple Ratio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s assume that the ratio of boys to girls is 3:2. And there are 60 students in total, then,<br>Parts = 3+2 = 5<br>Boys = (3\/5)\u00d760 = 36<br>Girls = (2\/5)\u00d760 = 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example 2: Using Proportion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If 5 pens cost Rs. 50, how much will 8 pens cost?<br>5:50 = 8:x<br>Cross-multiply: 5x = 8\u00d750<br>x = Rs. 80<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/how-to-score-maximum-marks-in-cloze-test-for-rbi-grade-b-exam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Score Maximum Marks in Cloze Test<\/a><\/strong> &amp; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ratio-proportion-for-rbi-grade-b-exam\/\">Ratio &amp; Proportion Concepts and Shortcuts for RBI Grade B Exam<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Questions Asked in RBI Grade B<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the kinds of questions that you need to prepare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Simple Ratio Problems<\/strong>: Direct ratio comparison or distribution. Usually very fast to solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Proportion and Missing Value<\/strong>: These require cross multiplication to find the missing term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Compound Ratio<\/strong>: Combining two or more ratios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For, example: If A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 4:5, then A:C = 2\u00d74 : 3\u00d75 = 8:15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Partnership Problems<\/strong>: Based on investment ratios and time periods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, A invests  Rs. 5000 for 12 months, B invests rs. 8000 for 6 months. Profit share ratio = (5000\u00d712):(8000\u00d76) = 60000:48000 = 5:4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Speed, Time, and Work Related Ratios: <\/strong>Many application-based word problems involve converting given conditions into ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shortcuts for Ratio and Proportion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortcuts play an important role in solving such questions quickly. Let\u2019s talk about the shortcuts with practical examples so you can understand and apply them well. There are 5 shortcuts in this regard. They are Ratio Scaling, Reverse Ratio, Direct Proportion, Inverse Proportion, and Equalizing Ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the table below to know them well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Shortcut<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What is it?<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>How to Apply it?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>1.
