Practice Set 7.1

Question 1.

Write the following statements using the symbol of variation.

(1) Circumference (c) of a circle is directly proportional to its radius (r).

(2) Consumption of petrol (I) in a car and distance traveled by that car (D) are in direct variation.

Answer:

(1) Circumference and radius

Therefore,  or, where 

(2) Consumption of petrol in a car 

Distance traveled by that car 

 OR 

Question 2.

Complete the following table considering that the cost of apples and their number are in direct variation.

Answer:

Since, cost of apples and their number are in direct variation it means that as the number of apple increases, the cost also increases and as the number of apple decreases, the cost also decreases.

EXPLANATION:

• When no. of apples is 1 []

Cost of apple is 8 []

Now, when no. of apples become 4 times then the cost of apples will also become 4 times because they are inversely proportion.

• When Cost of apple is 8 []

No. of apples is 4 []

Now, the cost of apples becomes  times.

∴ No. of apples will also become  times.

• When no. of apples is 7 []

Cost of apple is 56[]

Now, no. of apples becomes  times.

∴ Cost of apples will also become  times.

• When Cost of apple is 96 []

No. of apples is 12 []

Now, the cost of apples becomes  times.

∴ No. of apples will also become  times.

Question 3.

If  and whenm=154, n=7. Find the value of m, when n=14.

Answer:

GIVEN:

m∝n

m=154

n=7

TO FIND: Value of m, when n=14

PROOF:

m∝n

That is, 154∝7

It means that as the value of m increases, the value of n also increases.

When n=14, n becomes 2 times of its original value.

∵ m∝n

∴ m will also get double.

m=154×2

m=308

m∝n

308∝14

∴ Value of m is 308.

Question 4.

If n varies directly as m, complete the following table.

Answer:

It is given that . It means that as the value of n increases, the value of m also increases and if the value of n decreases, the value of n also decreases.

• When m =3

n =12

Now, when m becomes  times. ∴ n will also become  times.

• When 

Now, when m becomes 1.3 times.

∴ n will also become 1.3 times.

• When 

Now, when m becomes  times.

∴ m will also become  times.

• When m =7

n = 28

Now, when m becomes  times.

∴ n will also become  times.

Question 5.

y varies directly as the square root of x. When x = 16, y = 24. Find the constant of variation and equation of variation.

Answer:

It is given that y varies directly as the square root of x.

 (k is a constant)

∴ Required constant 

Equation: 

Question 6.

The total remuneration paid to laborers, employed to harvest soybeans is indirect variation with the number of laborers. If remuneration of 4 laborers is Rs1000, find the remuneration of 17 laborers.

Answer:

It is given that the total remuneration paid to laborers, employed to harvest soybeans is direct variation with the no. of laborers.

Remuneration of 4 labourers 

Remuneration of 1 labour 

Remuneration of 17 labourers

ALTERNATIVE METHOD

Total remuneration of 4 laborers is Rs 1000.

Remuneration of 17 laborers

To get the number of laborers to be 17, the present number of laborers will be multiplied by 

Since total remuneration is in direct variation with the number of laborers total remuneration will also get  times.

∴ Remuneration of 17 labourers

Practice Set 7.2

Question 1.

The information about numbers of workers and the number of days to complete work is given in the following table. Complete the table.

Answer:

Number of workers and the number of days to complete a work will be inversely proportional because if the number of workers increases the number of days to complete the work will reduce.

When the number of workers

Number of days 

 [k = constant]

 - (1)

The value of k will remain the same in all the cases

When the number of days 

Number of workers 

Number of workers (k=constant)

Number of workers(from 1)

Number of workers

∴ Number of workers15 when the number of days is 12

When the number of workers

Number of days  (from 1)

Number of days 

∴When the number of workers=10, number of days is 18

When the number of days

Number of workers 

Number of workers 

Number of workers (from1)

Number of workers

∴When the number of days is 36, the number of workers will be 5

Question 2.

Find constant of variation and write equation of variation for every example given below.

(1)  ; if  then 

(2) ; when  then 

(3)  ; if  then 

(4) ; if then 

Answer:

(1)  (,)

 (k=constant)

∴constant of variation is 60 and equation is 

(2) (, )

 (k=constant)

(1)

 (from 1)

∴constant of variation is 60 and equation is 

(3)  (, )

 (k=constant)

 (1)

 (from 1)

∴constant of variation is 100 and the equation is 

(4)  (, )

 (k=constant)

 (1)

 (from 1)

∴constant of variation is 45 and equation is

Question 3.

The boxes are to be filled with apples in a heap. If 24 apples are put in a box then 27 boxes are needed. If 36 apples are filled in a box how many boxes will be needed?

Answer:

The number of apples and number of boxes will be inversely proportional as if the number of apples will be filled in a box then fewer boxes will be needed.

Number of apples in a box 

Number of boxes needed 

 (k=constant)

 (1)

In the case, if 36 apples are filled in a box

Let the number of boxes be x

 (k=constant)

Therefore, 18 boxes are needed.

Practice Set 7.3

Question 1.

Which of the following statements is of inverse variation?

(1) The number of workers on a job and time taken by them to complete the job.

(2) The number of pipes of the same size to fill a tank and the time taken by them to fill the tank.

(3) Petrol filled in the tank of a vehicle and its cost.

(4) Area of the circle and its radius.

Answer:

(1) Yes, it is of inverse variation because more the number of workers will be lesser time will be taken.

(2) Yes, it is of inverse variation because more the number of pipes will be lesser time will be taken.

(3) No, it is not of inverse variation because the cost of petrol will increase with respect to its quantity.

(4) No, it is not of inverse variation because a larger circle has a longer radius.

Question 2.

If 15 workers can build a wall in 48 hours, how many workers will be required to do the same work in 30 hours?

Answer:

The number of workers building a wall and time taken by them is inversely proportional.

Let x be the number of workers and y be the time taken.

 (k is constant) (1)

Number of workers given=15

Time took =48 hrs

(Put in 1)

Wall has to be built in 30 hours

So, 

(Put in 1)

 (Since)

So, 24 workers are needed to build the wall in 30 hours.

Question 3.

120 bags of half liter milk can be filled by a machine within 3 minutes find the time to fill such 1800 bags?

Answer:

Number of bags will be directly proportional to the time taken because as the number of bags increases, time to fill them also increases.

Number of bags0

Time is taken to fill

 (k=constant)

 (1)

Number of bags

Let time taken to fill them be x

 (From 1)

So, 45 minutes are needed to fill 1800 bags.

Question 4.

A car with a speed of 60 km/hr takes 8 hours to travel some distance. What should be the increase in the speed if the same distance is to be covered in  hours?

Answer:

Speed of car and time will be inversely proportional because as the speed increases, time for the journey decreases.

Speed of car

Time 

 (k=constant)

 (1)

Time for which distance is to be covered

Let increase in speed

From 1

So, speed should be increased by 4 km/hr.
