NCERT Ex. 13.1

Q1: Following are the car parking charges near a railway station upto
       4 hours Rs 60
       8 hours Rs 100
     12 hours Rs 140
     24 hours Rs 180

Check if the parking charges are in direct proportion to the parking time

Answer: Calculating the ratio of parking charging wrt parting time:

No. of Hours (a)	Parking Charges(B)	Ratio (B/A)
4	60	60/4 = 15:1
8	100	100/8 =25:2
12	140	140/12 =35:3
24	180	180/24=15:2

Since the ratio of various parking charging vs parking time is not the same, the parking charges are NOT in direct proportion to the parking time.

धर्म नहीं वह जो की डाल दे, दिल में एक दरार रे |
