$11$ musicians create a song in $3$ days. How many days would be required to create a song when 6 musicians are working together'?
AnswerCorrect option: C. $5\frac{1}{2}\text{days}$
Let $y$ days be required to create a song by $6$ musicians.
As number of musicians is less so time required would be more. It is a case of inverse proportion which follows $\frac{\text{x}_1}{\text{x}_2}=\frac{\text{y}_2}{\text{y}_1}$
$\frac{11}{6}=\frac{\text{y}}{3}$
$11\times3=6\text{y}$
$\text{y}=\frac{11\times3}{6}$
$\text{y}=5\frac{1}{2}\ \text{days}$

Tick the correct answer in the following: A can do a piece of work in $25$ days, which $B$ alone can do in $20$ days. $A$ started the work and was joined by $B$ after $10$ days. The work lasted for:
AnswerCorrect option: C. $16\frac{2}{3}\ \text{days}.$
A's $1$ days work $=\frac{1}{25}$
B's $1$ days work $=\frac{1}{20}$
A and B's days work $=\frac{1}{25}+\frac{1}{20}$
$=\frac{4+5}{100}=\frac{9}{100}$
A's $10$ days work $=\frac{1}{25}\times10=\frac{2}{5}$
Remaining work $=1-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3}{5}$
$\therefore\frac{3}{5}$ work will be finished by $A$ and $B$ in,
$=\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{100}{9}=\frac{20}{3}\ \text{days}=6\frac{2}{3}\ \text{days,}$
$\therefore$ Whole work was finished in $=10+6\frac{2}{3}$
$=16\frac{2}{3}\ \text{days}.$

Tick the correct answer in the following: $3$ men or $5$ women can do a work in $12$ days. How long will $6$ men and $5$ women take to do it?
- A
$6$ days.
- B
$5$ days.
- ✓
$4$ days.
- D
$3$ days.
AnswerCorrect option: C. $4$ days.
$3$ men = $5$ women
$1$ men $\frac{5}{3}$ women $5$
$6$ men $=\frac{5}{3}\times6=10$ women,
$\therefore$ Total women in second case,
$= 10 + 5 = 15$ women
Now,
$5$ women $: 15$ women $: 12$ days $: x$
$\therefore$ By inverse proportion,
$5 : 15 : x : 12$
$\text{x}=\frac{5\times12}{15}=4\ \text{days}$

$510$
|
$xx$
|
|
Time(in min)
|

Less time will be taken to type less number of words.
So, it is a case of direct variation.
Now, $\frac{510}{30}=\frac{\text{x}}{10}$
$\Rightarrow x = 170$
$\therefore$ Rashmi will type $170$ words in $10$ minutes. View full question & answer→MCQ 101 Mark

AnswerLet each student get $x$ chocolates.
When number of students is less, each student will get more chocolates. It is a case of inverse proportion which follows $\frac{\text{x}_1}{\text{x}_2}=\frac{\text{y}_2}{\text{y}_1}$
$\frac{35}{20}=\frac{\text{x}}{3}$
$35\times3=20\text{x}$

For $6$ pipes, it takes $1$ hour $20$ minutes
$1$ hour $20$ minutes $= 60 + 20 = 80$ minutes
For $5$ pipes, let the time taken be $x.$
This is inverse proportion case:
$80 \times 6 = x \times 5$
$\text{x}=\frac{480}{5}=96$

Let $y$ hours are required of fill the water tank by $3$ pipes.
As number of pipes is less so time required would be more. it is a case of inverse proportion which Follows $\frac{\text{x}_1}{\text{x}_2}=\frac{\text{y}_2}{\text{y}_2}$
$\frac{7}{3}=\frac{\text{y}}{150}$
$7\times 150=3\text{y}$

Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer in the folllowing: A car is travelling at a uniform speed of $75\ km/hr$. How much distance will it cover in $20$ minutes?
- ✓
$25\ km$
- B
$15\ km$
- C
$30\ km$
- D
$20\ km$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $25\ km$
Let $x$ km be the required distance. Now, $1h = 60$min
| Distance (in km) |
$75$ |
$x$ |
| Time (in min) |
$60$ |
$20$ |
Less distance will be covered in less time.
Now, $\frac{75}{60}=\frac{\text{x}}{20}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{75\times20}{60}$

Both $u$ and $v$ vary directly with each other. When u is $10,$ v is $15$, which of the following is not a possible pair of corresponding values of $u$ and $v?$
- A
$2$ and $3$
- B
$8$ and $12$
- ✓
$15$ and $20$
- D
$25$ and $37.5$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $15$ and $20$
Since,$u \& v$ vary directly, i.e., $\frac{\text{u}}{\text{v}}=\text{k} $ (constant)
If $u = 10$ and $v = 15$ then,$\frac{\text{u}}{\text{v}}=\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$
In option $(b)$, $\frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}$
In option $(c)$, $\frac{15}{20} = \frac{3}{4}$
In option $(d)$, $\frac{25}{37.5} = \frac{2}{3}$
So, option $(c)$ is not possible pair of corresponding values $u \& v.$

- A
$120g$
- ✓
$750g$
- C
$3000g$
- D
$1200g$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $750g$
$300 g$ sugar is required to bake a cake for $4$ people so if number of people is more, then more cake is required so amount of sugar would increase.
It is a case of direct proportion which follows, $\frac{\text{x}_1}{\text{y}_2}=\frac{\text{x}_2}{\text{y}_2}$
Substituting the values,
We get $\frac{300}{4}=\frac{\text{x}_2}{10}$
$300\times10=4\times\text{x}_2$
$\text{x}_2=\frac{300\times10}{4}$

“If speed is more than time to cover a fixed distance would be less”. This is a ease of:
AnswerThe main idea in inverse variation is that as one variable increases the other variable decreases. That means that if $x$ is increasing $y$ is decreasing, and if $x$ is decreasing $y$ is increasing. The number $k$ is a constant so it's always the same number throughout the inverse variation problem.

Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer in the folllowing: $3$ persons can build a wall in $4$ days, then $4$ persons can build it in.
- A
$5\frac{1}{3}$ days
- ✓
$3$ days
- C
$4\frac{1}{3}$days
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. $3$ days
Let $x$ be number of days taken by $4$ persons to build the wall.
| No. of persons |
$3$ |
$4$ |
| No. of days |
$4$ |
$x$ |
More number of persons will take less time to build the wall.
So, it is a case of inverse proportion.
Now, $3 \times 4 = 4 \times x$
$\Rightarrow x = 3$
Therefore, $4$ persons can build the wall in $3$ days. View full question & answer→MCQ 491 Mark
Mark againts the correct answer in the following: The rates of working of two tapes $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $2 : 3.$ The ratio of the time taken by $A$ and $B$ respectively to fill a given cistern is:
- A
$2 : 3$
- ✓
$3 : 2$
- C
$4 : 9$
- D
$9 : 4$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $3 : 2$
Rates at which taps $A$ and $B$ work $= 2 : 3$
The ratio of time taken by taps $A$ and $B$ to fill the cistern,
$=\frac{1}{\text{Rate at which taps A and B work}}$
$=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{3}{2}=3:2$
