Let $a=(a_1,a_2,...,a_n)$ be a nonincreasing sequence of positive real numbers. Denote by $S=\{1,2,...,n\}$ the index set and by $J_k=\{I=\{r_1,r_2,...,r_k\}$, $1\le r_1<r_2<\cdots <r_k\le n\}$ the set of all subsets of $S$ of cardinality $k$, $1\le k\le n-1$. In addition, denote by $a_I=a_{r_1}+a_{r_2}+\cdots +a_{r_k}$, $1\le k\le n-1$, $1\le r_1<r_2<\cdots <r_k\le n$, the sum of $k$ arbitrary elements of sequence $a$, where $a_{I_1}=a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_k$ and $a_{I_n}=a_{n-k+1}+a_{n-k+2}+\cdots +a_n$. We consider bounds of the quantities $R{S}_k\left(a\right)=a_{I_1}/a_{I_n}$, $L{S}_k\left(a\right)=a_{I_1}-a_{I_n}$ and $S_{k,\alpha }\left(a\right)={\sum }_{I\in J_k}{a}_I^{\alpha }$ in terms of $A={\sum }_{i=1}^n{a}_i$ and $B={\sum }_{i=1}^n{a}_i^2$. Then we use the obtained results to generalize some results regarding Laplacian and normalized Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs.
