5. Pompo and Rompo are two countries engaged in a
war. Pompo possesses 8 tanks and Rompo
possesses 11 tanks. They get external support from
neighbouring countries, of two tanks each. Which
ofthe two countries is supposed tohave a relatively
greater increase in strength?
Solution :
Pompo's strength : Rompo's strength inital
Pompo's strength : Rompo's strength (after aid
received) = 10: 13
10 8
Bon
Therefore, Pompo's strength inoreased ina greater
proportion as compared to Rompo's strength.

7. ©1150 is to be divided between A, B and C such
that the ratio of share of A to that of Bis equal to 3
2 and the share of B to share of C is equal to
3:4. Find their individual share?
Solution :
3
HereA:B=3:2= 5 andB:C=
[We take the LCM of the values of the common
term {Bover here}
e.g. LCM of 2 and 3is6
SoA:B=3:2=9:6andB:C=3
Therefore, A: B:C=9:6:8

Solution :
One way of solving such a problem is to convert
sachinio decimalsand hen compare
Another way is to either equalize the numerator or

1. Therefore, the greatest fraction is
aac
Suppose we have £ and | tobe compared,
If a=, then the fraction with the higher value of
denominator is smaller.
If b = d, then the fraction with the lower value of

year 1996 in the ratio 5:3 - 1. If C's share of such
allowance is £1,000, how much did A get for the
year ended in December 31, 1996.
Solution
C'sshare= 21,000
As share : C's share = 5:1
Therefore, A's share (monthly) = 5,000
Ass share for whole year = 5000 x 12 = 760,000
