Top 3 Videos on Ratio & Proportion for CAT Quantitative Aptitude by PW

Ratio & Proportion questions can become confusing when you have to combine ratios, divide quantities, or solve word problems involving several steps. You may know the formulas but still struggle to decide which method to use, especially when questions involve fractions, mixtures, partnership or variation. This can also slow you down during CAT practice.

PW videos help you understand Ratio & Proportion through worked examples and different types of questions. You can begin with the basics, practise common applications, and move towards more challenging problems. These lessons can help you choose the right method, avoid calculation errors, and revise the topic more effectively.

Video 1: Practise Mixed Ratio Questions with Real-World Applications

The first video covers several applications of Ratio & Proportion, starting with ratio types, basic properties, proportion and variation. You will also learn how to merge ratios using common-platform and mirror methods. The lesson moves on to questions involving population, numbers, mixtures, alloys, cricket runs, races, and sharing. It also covers multi-variable mixture problems and speed-maths shortcuts.

If you already know the basics but struggle with application-based questions, this video can help you connect concepts with different question types. Follow the worked examples carefully and practise the calculation methods to improve your accuracy and solve word problems with greater confidence.

Video 2: Revise Ratio from Basics to Advanced with a One-Shot Lesson

This one-shot lesson starts with the meaning of ratios and moves to equivalent ratios, variable representation, and dividing quantities in a given ratio. You will practise questions involving integers, fractions and large numbers. 

The video also shows how to turn word problems into equations or charts, with examples based on coins, money, land, totals, differences and required ratios. Proportionality and partnership are also introduced.

Watch this lesson if you need to revise several ratio concepts in one sitting or find multi-step questions difficult. The examples can help you understand how to interpret a question, select a suitable method, and check your calculations before choosing an answer. 

Video 3: Build Your Ratio Foundation with Step-by-Step Methods

This video takes you through Ratio from the introductory concepts to more advanced applications. It explains what a ratio means and introduces methods such as forming equations, making useful assumptions, and applying the unitary method. The lesson builds on the basic ideas in sequence, helping you understand how different approaches work while solving ratio questions.

Choose this video if you want to learn the topic from the beginning or feel unsure about which method to use. Follow each example and try solving it yourself before checking the explanation. This practice can help you strengthen your basics, reduce confusion between methods, and prepare for more challenging CAT Quantitative Aptitude questions. 

How to Use PW Ratio & Proportion Videos for CAT Preparation

Follow these steps to make your practice more useful:

1. Start with the basics: Watch the third video to understand ratio concepts, equations, and the unitary method.

2. Revise key concepts: Use the second video to practise equivalent ratios, division of quantities, proportionality and partnership.

3. Solve application-based questions: Watch the first video to work through mixtures, sharing problems and other real-world examples.

4. Attempt questions on your own: Pause each video before the solution and try to solve the question independently.

5. Review your mistakes: Note where you chose the wrong method or made a calculation error. Revisit that part and solve similar questions.

6. Practise with CAT questions: Apply what you have learnt to arithmetic questions, sectional tests, and mock exams.

For better results, combine these videos with regular question practice and mock tests. Visit PW MBA for more CAT preparation resources and continue practising Quantitative Aptitude questions alongside your video lessons.
