The correct Answer is:
To determine if the ratio of weight to volume of kerosene oil is in proportion, we need to compare the ratios of weight and volume for the two given quantities. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given quantities We have: - Weight of 150 litres of kerosene oil = 135 kg - Weight of 100 litres of kerosene oil = 90 kg ### Step 2: Write the ratios of weight and volume We will write the ratios of weight to volume for both quantities. For 150 litres: - Ratio of weight to volume = Weight / Volume = 135 kg / 150 litres For 100 litres: - Ratio of weight to volume = Weight / Volume = 90 kg / 100 litres ### Step 3: Simplify the ratios Now, we simplify both ratios. **For 150 litres:** \[ \frac{135}{150} = \frac{135 \div 15}{150 \div 15} = \frac{9}{10} \] **For 100 litres:** \[ \frac{90}{100} = \frac{90 \div 10}{100 \div 10} = \frac{9}{10} \] ### Step 4: Compare the simplified ratios Now we compare the two simplified ratios: - Ratio for 150 litres = 9/10 - Ratio for 100 litres = 9/10 ### Step 5: Conclusion Since both ratios are equal (9/10 = 9/10), we can conclude that the ratios of weight to volume are in proportion. ### Final Answer Yes, the ratio of weight and volume of kerosene oil is in proportion. ---
