Important exam questions with answers

What is a ratio and how is it written?

A ratio compares two quantities showing how many times one value contains or is contained within the other. It is written as a : b, for example, 2 : 1. (2 marks)

How do you check if two ratios are proportional?

Two ratios a : b and c : d are proportional if a × d = b × c using cross multiplication. If the products are equal, the ratios are proportional. (3 marks)

Explain the concept of Representative Fraction (RF) in maps.

RF is the ratio between distance on the map and actual distance on the ground. For example, 1 : 60,00,000 means 1 cm on the map equals 60,00,000 cm in reality. (3 marks)
