Question 4.
Determine if the following ratios form a proportion. Also, write the middle terms and extreme terms where the ratios form a proportion.
(a) 25 cm : 1 m and Rs. 40: Rs. 160
(b) 39 litres: 65 litres and 6 bottles: 10 bottles
(c) 2 kg : 80 kg and 25 g : 625 g

MP Board Class 6th Maths Solutions Chapter 12 Ratio and Proportion Ex 12.2 6
Since the ratios are equal, therefore these are in proportion.
Middle terms are 1 m and Rs. 40 and extreme terms are 25 cm and Rs. 160.
MP Board Class 6th Maths Solutions Chapter 12 Ratio and Proportion Ex 12.2 7
Since the ratios are equal, therefore these are in proportion.
Middle terms are 65 litres and 6 bottles and extreme terms are 39 litres and 10 bottles.

Since the ratios are not equal, therefore these are not in proportion.
(d) 200 ml : 2.5 litres = 200 ml: (2.5 × 1000) ml
MP Board Class 6th Maths Solutions Chapter 12 Ratio and Proportion Ex 12.2 9
Since the ratios are equal, therefore these are in proportion.
Middle terms are 2.5 litres and Rs. 4 and extreme terms are 200 ml and Rs. 50.
