:
As animals increases, the number of days decreases. This is in inverse proportion.
Let the required number of days be t
20 x 6 = 30 x t
t = 4
So, the food will last for 4 days.
:
B
Let the required number of machines be denoted by 'n' and number of days taken be 'd'.
As number of machines increases, the number of days required to make articles decreases, hence they are inversely proportional.
n×d = constant
n1×d1 = n2×d2
Using inverse proportion condition,
42n = 5463
n=42×6354
n = 49
So, 49 machines are required.
Hence, the statement is false.
:
C
Given, the number of bottles can be filled by the machine in 6 hours = 480
Hence number of bottles it can fill in 1 hour = 4806= 80 bottles
Hence the number of bottles that can be filled in 2 days = 80 × 2 × 24 (∵ Number of hours in a day = 24)
= 3840 bottles
:
D
Given, the number of bottles that can be filled by the machine in 6 hours is 840.
Hence, the number of bottles it can fill in 1 hour
=8406
= 140 bottles
Hence number of bottles that can be filled in 5 hours
=140× 5
= 700 bottles

A and C
Length of squarePerimeter of square=a4a=14
which is a constant.
Length of squareArea of square=aa2=1a
which is not constant.
Length of squareLength of diagonal=1√2
which is constant.
Hence, length of a square is in direct proportion with its perimeter and diagonal.
:
A
When x and y are in direct proportion, we can write x1y1=x2y2
[y1,y2 are values of y corresponding to the values x1,x2 of x respectively] which gives x1y2=x2y1.
:
B
If x and y are in inverse proportion, and y1, y2are values of y corresponding to the values x1, x2 of x respectively, then
x1y1=x2y2
