Question : What smallest positive number should be subtracted from 2 and 3 so that 4 is the third proportion to them?
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 4
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Let the number subtracted be $x$. $(2-x)$ : $(3-x)$ :: $(3-x)$ : $4$ ⇒$\frac{(2-x)}{(3-x)} = \frac{(3-x)}{4}$ ⇒$(3-x)^2 = 4(2-x)$ ⇒ $x^2-6x+9 = 8-4x$ ⇒ $x^2-2x+1=0$ ⇒ $(x-1)^2=0$ ⇒ $x = 1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : Which of the following is the smallest ratio? $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{9}, \frac{11}{12}, \frac{13}{18}$
Option 1: $\frac{7}{9}$
Option 2: $\frac{13}{18}$
Option 3: $\frac{5}{6}$
Option 4: $\frac{11}{12}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{13}{18}$
Solution : $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{9}, \frac{11}{12}, \frac{13}{18}$ LCM of 6, 9, 12, and 18 is 36 Multiplying 36 in all fractions, we get: $\frac{5}{6}×36, \frac{7}{9}×36, \frac{11}{12}×36, \frac{13}{18}×36$ = 30, 28, 33, 26 So, 26 is the smallest. Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{13}{18}$.
