NCERT Exemplar Problems and Solutions


Q1: If x and y are directly proportional and when x = 13, y = 39, which of the following is not a possible pair of corresponding values of x and y ?

(a) 1 and 3
(b) 17 and 51
(c) 30 and 10
(d) 6 and 18

Answer: (c) 30 and 10
For direct variation,

x1	=	x2
y1		y2

Thus x/y = 13/39 = 1/3. Options (a), (b) and (d) have the same ratio while option (c) does not.


Q2: Which of the following is in direct proportion?

(a) One side of a cuboid and its volume.
(b) Speed of a vehicle and the distance travelled in a fixed time interval.
(c) Change in weight and height among individuals.
(d) Number of pipes to fill a tank and the time required to fill the same tank.

Answer: (b) Speed of a vehicle and the distance travelled in a fixed time interval.
∵ Speed / distance = fixed ratio.

(a) 2 and 3
(b) 8 and 12
(c) 15 and 20
(d) 25 and 37.5


Answer: (c) 15 and 20
u/v = 2/3

Question(CBSE 2013 comptt):

Surely, Shakespeare is wicked, the map a bad example,
With ships and sun and love tempting them to steal—
For lives that slyly turn in their cramped holes
From fog to endless night? On their slag heap, these children
Wear skins peeped through by bones and spectacles of steel
With mended glass, like bottle bits on stones.
