24700 * 21/100 : 27300 * 14/100 = 19 : 14.

Divide 5187 and 3822 by 3 you will get 1729 and 1274. Then add units of each number i.e.,1+7+2+9 = 19 and 1+2+7+4 = 14.

Thus Ratio between PG and Grad of institute S is 19:14.

How or what quick method can we use or know that it is 273 that will divide 5187 and 3822 to give us 19:14. Quickest way of solving ratio?

Tejash Bhavsar said:   1 decade ago
I would like to understand that what is actual method to calculate ratio,

Here I would like to add that 21*24700/14*27300 = to come different figure.

So please let me know that should be ideally calculated?
