Question:
Which of the following are in inverse proportion?z
i)The number of workers on a job and the time to complete the job.
ii)The time taken for a journey and the distance travelled in a uniform speed.
iii)Area of cultivated land and the crop harvested.
iv)The time taken for a fixed journey and the speed of vehicle.
v)The population of a country and the area of land per person.
Answer:
v)The population of a country and the area of land per person.
Explanation:
(i) We know that more is the number of workers to do a job, less is the time taken to finish the job.
So, it is a case of inverse proportion.
(ii) Considering uniform speed, as the distance to be travelled increases, the time taken to cover it will also increase.
So, this is a case of direct variation.
(iii) Clearly, more is the area of cultivated land, more is the crop harvested.
So, it is a case of direct proportion.
(iv) We know that the more will be the speed of the vehicle, the distance will be covered in lesser time.
So, it is a case of inverse proportion.
(v) Clearly, more is the population, less is the area of land per person in a country.
So, it is a case of inverse proportion.
