Sniper Mode: Comparison

1. Basics

  • Rule of N: If A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 4:5.
    • Multiply pattern (N shape): A:B:C = (2x4) : (3x4) : (3x5) = 8:12:15.
  • Types:
    • Duplicate Ratio: a^2 : b^2.
    • Mean Proportion: тИЪ(ab).
    • Third Proportion: b^2/a.
    • Fourth Proportion: (b*c)/a.

2. Problem Types

  • Coin Problems:
    • Bag has 1rs, 50p, 25p coins in 2:3:4 ratio. Total value = 180rs.
    • Sniper Trick: Convert ratio to value. (2x1) + (3x0.5) + (4x0.25) = 2 + 1.5 + 1 = 4.5 units.
    • 4.5 units = 180rs. 1 unit = 40. Now solve.
  • Income-Expenditure:
    • Inc = Exp + Sav.
    • If Inc ratio 5:4, Exp ratio 3:2, Saving 800 each.
    • Cross Product: 52 - 43 = 10-12 = 2 units diff. 2 unit = Diff in savings logic.

3. Partnership

  • Profit = Investment x Time.
  • P1 : P2 = I1T1 : I2T2.
  • Sleeping Partner: Invests money but no time (Only gets profit share).
  • Working Partner: Gets Salary + Profit share.
