The ratio of the incomes of A and B is 4:5, and the ratio of their expenditures is 2:3. If each saves \u20b96,000 per month, what is the monthly income of A?<\/p><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"true\">A) \u20b912,000<\/button><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"false\">B) \u20b915,000<\/button><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"false\">C) \u20b918,000<\/button><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"false\">D) \u20b924,000<\/button><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"false\">E) \u20b920,000<\/button><div class=\"answer-explanation\"><strong>Correct Answer: A) \u20b912,000<\/strong><br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> Let incomes be 4x and 5x. Then expenditures are 4x\u22126000 and 5x\u22126000. So (4x\u22126000)\/(5x\u22126000)=2\/3. Solving gives x=3000, hence A&#x27;s income = 4x = \u20b912,000.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"question\" data-answered=\"false\"><p>Q2. A container contains milk and water in the ratio 7:5. Nine litres of the mixture is removed and replaced with water. The new ratio becomes 7:9.

After removing 9 litres and adding 9 litres of water, [7(X\u22129)]\/[5(X\u22129)+108]=7\/9. Solving gives X=36. Initial milk = 7\/12\u00d736 = 21 litres.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"question\" data-answered=\"false\"><p>Q3. The total weight of A, B, and C is 177 kg. The ratio of A:B is 3:4 and B:C is 5:6.

Total parts = 59. Since total weight is 177 kg, one part = 3 kg. Therefore C = 24\u00d73 = 72 kg. The original total of 180 kg was corrected to 177 kg because 180 gives no listed answer.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"question\" data-answered=\"false\"><p>Q4.

Adding gives 2(a+b+c)=21k, so 28=21k and k=4\/3. Then a+b=8, so c=14\u22128=6.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"question\" data-answered=\"false\"><p>Q5. Two numbers are in the ratio 3:5. If 9 is subtracted from each, the new ratio is 12:23. What is the smaller number?<\/p><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"false\">A) 27<\/button><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"true\">B) 33<\/button><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"false\">C) 45<\/button><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"false\">D) 55<\/button><button class=\"answer-option\" data-correct=\"false\">E) 36<\/button><div class=\"answer-explanation\"><strong>Correct Answer: B) 33<\/strong><br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> Let the numbers be 3x and 5x. Then (3x\u22129)\/(5x\u22129)=12\/23.

How many questions on Ratio &amp; Proportion appear in the IBPS PO Prelims exam?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Directly, you can expect <strong>1 to 3 word problems<\/strong> in Prelims. However, Ratio &amp; Proportion concepts are essential for solving <strong>10 to 15 Data Interpretation questions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Q2. Is Ratio and Proportion important for the IBPS PO Mains exam?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. In IBPS PO Mains, advanced arithmetic concept-based Data Interpretation (like Caselets and Missing DI) relies heavily on complex ratio manipulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Q3. What is the shortcut to combine two ratios like $A: B$ and $B: C$?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiply the terms of the first ratio by the first term of the second ratio, and multiply the terms of the second ratio by the second term of the first ratio to make the common variable equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Q4. Can I solve Ratio and Proportion questions without writing long equations?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, by using the <strong>Unit Method<\/strong> or ratio balancing techniques, most standard IBPS PO Prelims questions can be solved mentally or with minimal rough work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Q5. Are formulas required to solve Ratio and Proportion problems?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No complex formulas are needed. A strong grasp of fundamental concepts\u2014such as mean proportional, third\/fourth proportional, and ratio balancing\u2014is all that is required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Practice free Ratio &#038; Proportion questions for IBPS PO 2026.
