Length of a side of a square and its area does not vary directly with each other, e.g. Let a be length of each side of a square.


So, area of the square = side2 = a2


So, if we increase the length of the side of a square, then their area increases but not directly.



Question 47.

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

Length of a side of an equilateral triangle and its perimeter vary inversely with each other.


Answer:

False

Length of a side of an equilateral triangle and its perimeter vary directly with each other, e.g. let a be the side of an equilateral triangle. So, perimeter = 3 × (side) = 3× a = 3a. so, if we increase the length of side of the equilateral triangle, then their perimeter will also increase.



Question 48.

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

If d varies directly as t2, then we can write dt2 = k, where k is some constant.


Answer:

False

If d varies inversely as t2, then we can write dt2 = k, where k is some constant.


Since, two quantities x and y are said to be in inverse proportion, if an increase in x cause a proportional decrease in y and vice-a-versa, in such a manner that the product of their corresponding values remains constant.



Question 49.

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

If a tree 24 m high casts a shadow of 15 m, then the height of a pole that casts a shadow of 6 m under similar conditions is 9.6 m.


Answer:

True

∵Height of a tree = 24m


Then its shadow = 15m


With the similar condition, if a pole has a shadow of length = 6m


Let the height of pole = x m


Since, length and shadow vary directly.


Then,


⇒ 15× x = 24× 6



⇒ x = 9.6m



Question 50.

If x and y are in direct proportion, then (x – 1) and (y – 1) are also in direct proportion.


Answer:

False

If x and y are in direct proportion, then



E.g. Let x = 4 and y = 6



Now, x-1 = 4-1 = 3 and y-1 = 6-1 = 5




Question 51.

If x and y are in inverse proportion, then (x + 1) and (y + 1) are also in inverse proportion.


Answer:

False

If x and y are in inverse proportion, then xy = k(constant) e.g. Let x = 2 and y = 3


∴ xy = 2 × 3 = 6. Now, x + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 and y + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4


Then, (x + 1) (y + 1) = 3×4 = 12 [not in inverse proportion]


Hence, (x + 1) and (y + 1) cannot be in inverse proportion.



Question 52.

If p and q are in inverse variation, then (p + 2) and (q – 2) are also inverse proportion.


Answer:

False

If p and q are in inverse proportion, then


xy = k(constant)


e.g. Let p = 3 and q = 4


Then, pq = 3×4 = 12


Now, p + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 and q-2 = 4-2 = 2


(p + 2) (q-2) = 5×2 = 10 [not in inverse proportion]


Hence, (p + 2) and (q-2) cannot be in inverse proportion.



Question 53.

If one angle of a triangle is kept fixed then the measure of the remaining two angles vary inversely with each other.


Answer:

False

If one angle of a triangle is kept fixed, then the measure of the remaining two angles can’t vary inversely with each other.


e.g. In ΔABC, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° [sum of all angles of a Δ]


if ∠A = 50°, then ∠B + ∠C = 180° -50° = 130°


So, it is not depending on any proportion by applying angle sum properties of a triangle.



Question 54.

Question 56.

If x varies inversely as y and when x = 6, y = 8, then for x = 8 the value of y is 10.


Answer:

False

If x varies inversely as y, i.e. xy = k(constant)


If x = 6 and y = 8


∴ xy = 6×8 = 48


But if x = 8 and y = 10


∴ xy = 8 × 10 = 80


Here, 48 ≠80


Hence, the value of y is not 10



Question 57.

The number of workers and the time to complete a job is a case of direct proportion.
