Question

In a year, a lady doctor earned Rs.4.4 lakhs and paid Rs.1.1 lakhs as income tax. Find the ratio of income to income-tax and income-tax to income?

Answer 1

Hint – Here, we have to find the ratio in between two terms. Since, there are two terms, first we will take one as a numerator and other as a denominator and then vice-versa.

Complete step-by-step answer:
According to question, we will write what is given to us i.e.
The income of lady doctor = 4.4 lakhs
The income tax = 1.1 lakhs
Now, we have to find the ratio between these given particular terms i.e. income and income-tax.
Ratio of income to income-tax = 4.4:1.1 = 4:1
Or we can write 4.4:1.1 as $\dfrac{{4.4}}{{1.1}}$.
By further solving it we will get $\dfrac{4}{1}$ which we can write back as 4:1.
We will find the ratio of income-tax to income by using the same method used as above.
So, Ratio of income-tax to income = 1.1:4.4 = 1:4
Or we can write 1.1:4.4 as $\dfrac{{1.1}}{{4.4}}$.
By further solving it we will get $\dfrac{1}{4}$ which we can write back as 1:4.
Hence, the answer is 4:1 and 1:4 of income to income-tax and income-tax to income respectively.

Note – As you know that, Ratio is used to compare the size of one number to the size of another number. There can be some common mistakes in reading the ratio, so one should read the ratio the right way explained as above..
