15:1000::x:100 3:10::12:x 0.5:20::x:200
Solution
i) 15 : 1000 :: x : 100
i.e., 15/1000 = x/100
i.e., x/100 = 15/1000
i.e., x = (15*100)/1000
i.e., x = 1500/1000
i.e., x = 3/2
i.e., x = 1.5
ii) 3 : 10 :: 12 : x
i.e., 3/10 = 12/x
i.e., 3*x = 12*10 [by cross multiplication]
i.e., x = (12*10)/3
i.e., x = 120/3
i.e., x = 40
iii) 0.5 : 20 :: x : 200
i.e., 0.5/20 = x/200
i.e., x/200 = 0.5/20
i.e., x = (0.5*200)/20
i.e., x = 100/20
i.e., x = 5.
