From the Introduction: ``If \(E\) is a linear set of non-zero elements, and if \(x\) and \(y\) are any two elements of \(E\), then \({y\over x}\) or \({x\over y}\) is called the ratio of the points \(x\) and \(y\) belonging to \(E\) and is denoted by \(R(x,y)\). The set comprising all possible ratios of points of \(E\) is called the ratio set of \(E\). \textit{N. C. Bose Majumdar} [Ann. Univ. Ferrara, Nuova Ser., Sez. VII, 10, No. 1, 1-12 (1992), per bibl.] has proved the following theorem: Let \(A\) and \(B\) be two linear sets (of points with non-zero positive abscissae) of positive measure and \(C\) be a set dense in \(0< x< \infty\); there exist two points \(\xi\) and \(\eta\) belonging, respectively, to \(A\) and \(B\), such that, the ratio \({\xi\over\eta}\) (or \({\eta\over\xi}\)) belongs to \(C\). As an application of the above theorem he has proved that the ratio set of two linear sets \(A\) and \(B\) with positive measure contains at least one whole interval. In this paper we have attempted to generalize both the above results of Bose Majumdar. As a consequence we also have obtained some interesting results on sets of positive measure.
