In an examination, the ratio of passes to failures was 4 : 1. If 30 less had appeared and 20 less passed, the ratio of passes to failures would have been 5 : 1. How many students appeared for the examination

उत्तर
Let the number of passes = 4x
and number of failures = x
The total number of students appeared = 4x + x = 5x
In the second case, the number of students appeared = 5x – 30
and number of passes = 4x – 20
∴ No. of failure
= (5x – 30) - (4x – 20)
= 5x - 30 – 4x + 20
= x – 10
According to the condition
`(4x - 20)/(x - 10) = (5)/(1)`
⇒ 5x - 50 = 4x - 20
⇒ 5x - 4x = -20 + 50
⇒ x = 30
∴ Number of students appeared = 5x
= 5 x 30
= 150.

A doctor reports blood pressure in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) as a ratio of systolic blood pressure to diastolic blood pressure (such as 140 over 80). Systolic pressure is measured when the heart beats, and diastolic pressure is measured when it rests. Refer to the table of blood pressure ranges for adults.
| Blood Pressure Ranges | |||
| Normal | Prehypertension | Hypertension (Very High) |
|
| Systolic | Under 120 mm Hg | 120-139 mm Hg | 140 mm Hg and above |
| Diastolic | Under 80 mm Hg | 80-89 mm Hg | 90 mm Hg and above |
