Compare the following problems (A) if 3 US collars is equal to 180 Indian rupees then how many Indian rupees are equal to 21 US Dollars? (B) Zoya and Rajni are running equally fast on a circular track. Zoya started first and when she had run 9 laps, at that time Rajni had run 3 laps. By the time Rajni had run 15 laps, how many laps had Zoya completed? Which of the following statement is true? Correct Answer A is a problem based on proportions, B will require the knowledge of addition and subtraction.

Proportion is explained majorly based on ratios and fractions. Proportion is a mathematical comparison between two numbers. 

  • According to proportion, if two sets of given numbers are increasing or decreasing in the same ratio, then the ratios are said to be directly proportional to each other. 

Key Points

In the above examples:

(A) US dollars and Indian rupee comparison is given where they are proportionate 3 US dollars are given as 180 rupees and the value of 21 dollars is asked, here dollars are increasing from 3 to 21 so dollars will also increase, hence this is related to proportion.

(B) Here Zoya started first than Rajni so this is not a problem related to proportion as lapses of Zoya and Rajni don't increase in proportions as Zoya had started first, so this is a problem related to addition and subtraction.

Hence A is a problem based on proportions, and B will require the knowledge of addition and subtraction.

A passage is given with five questions following it. Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given fouralternatives. Teaching about compassion and empathy in schools can help deal with problems of climate change and environmental degradation,” says Barbara Maas, secretary,
Standing Committee for Environment and Conservation, International Buddhist Confederation (IBC). She was in New Delhi to participate in the IBCs governing
council meeting, December 10-11, 2017. “We started an awareness campaign in the year 2005-2006 with H H The Dalai Lama when we learnt that tiger skins were
being traded in China and Tibet. At that time, I was not a Buddhist; I wrote to the Dalai Lama asking him to say that this is harmful and he wrote back to say, “We
will stop this.” He used very strong words during the Kalachakra in 2006, when he said, If he sees people wearing fur and skins, he doesnt feel like living. This sent
huge shock waves in the Himalayan community. Within six months, in Lhasa, people ripped the fur trim of their tubba, the traditional Tibetan dress. The messenger was ideal and the audience was receptive,” says Maas who is a conservationist. She has studied the battered foxs behavioral ecology in Serengeti,Africa. She heads the endangered species conservation at the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) International Foundation for Nature, Berlin. “I metSamdhong Rinpoche, The Karmapa, HH the Dalai Lama and Geshe Lhakdor and I thought, if by being a Buddhist, you become like this, I am going for it, “says Maas, who led the IBC initiative for including the Buddhist perspective to the global discourse on climate change by presenting the statement, The Time to Act is Now: aBuddhist Declaration on Climate Change, at COP21 in Paris. “It was for the first time in the history of Buddhism that leaders of different sanghas came together to take a stand on anything! The statement lists a couple ofimportant things: the first is that we amass things that we dont need; there is overpopulation; we need to live with contentment and deal with each other and theenvironment with love and compassion,” elaborates Maas. She is an ardent advocate of a vegan diet because “consuming meat and milk globally contributes more toclimate change than all "transport in the world.” Turning vegetarian or vegan usually requires complete change of perspective before one gives up eating their favorite food. What are the Buddhist ways to bringabout this kind of change at the individual level? “To change our behavior, Buddhism is an ideal vehicle; it made me a more contented person,” says Maas, who grewup in Germany, as a sausage chomping, meat-loving individual. She says, “If I can change, so can anybody”. What did HH Dalai Lama said to his followers which came as a blow to them?
