= 100 mm
Thickness of a paper sheet = 0.016 mm
∴ Thickness of 5 paper sheets
= (5 × 0.016) mm
= 0.08 mm
∴ Total thickness of a stack = Thickness of books + Thickness of paper sheets
= (100 + 0.08) mm
= 100.08 mm
In standard form 100.08 is written as 1.0008 × 10².
Thus, the total thickness of the stack is 1.0008 × 10² mm.

2. Principal = ₹ 1000, Rate = 8 % per annum. Fill in the following table and find which type of interest (simple or compound) changes in direct proportion with time period.

Time Period	1 year	2 years	3 years
Simple Interest (in ₹)
Compound Interest (in ₹)

Solution:
Simple interest : SI = \(\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}\)
For calculation:
P = ₹ 1000, R = 8 %, T = …………….

Time (T) →	1 year: T = 1	2 years : T = 2	3 years : T = 3
Simple interest SI = \(\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}\)	₹ \(\frac{1000 \times 8 \times 1}{100}\) = ₹ 80	₹ \(\frac{1000 \times 8 \times 2}{100}\) = ₹ 160	₹ \(\frac{1000 \times 8 \times 3}{100}\) = ₹ 240
\(\frac{\text { SI }}{\text { T }}\)	\(\frac {80}{1}\) = 80	\(\frac {160}{2}\) = 80	\(\frac {240}{3}\) = 80

Here, the ratio of simple interest with time period is same for every year.
Hence, simple interest changes in direct proportion with time period.
Compound interest:
For calculation:
P = ₹ 1000, R = 8 %, T = ……………

Time →	1 year : n = 1
A = P(1 + \(\frac {R}{100}\))n CI = A – P	A = 1000(1 + \(\frac {8}{100}\))1 = 1000 × \(\frac {108}{100}\) = 1080 ∴ CI = 1080 – 1000 = ₹ 80
\(\frac{\text { CI }}{\text { T }}\)	\(\frac {80}{1}\)

Time →	2 years : n = 2
A = P(1 + \(\frac {R}{100}\))n CI = A – P	A = 1000(1 + \(\frac {8}{100}\))2 = 1000 × \(\frac {108}{100}\) × \(\frac {108}{100}\) = ₹ 1166.40 ∴ CI = ₹ 1166.40 – 1000 = ₹ 166.40

Time →	3 years : n = 3
A = P(1 + \(\frac {R}{100}\))n CI = A – P	A = 1000(1 + \(\frac {8}{100}\))3 = 1000 × \(\frac {108}{100}\) × \(\frac {108}{100}\) × \(\frac {108}{100}\) = ₹ 1259.712 ∴ CI = ₹ 1259.712 – ₹ 1000 = ₹ 259.712
\(\frac{\text { CI }}{\text { T }}\)	\(\frac {259.712}{3}\)

Here, the ratio of CI and T is not same.
Thus, compound interest is not proportional with time period.

1. If we fix time period and the rate of interest, simple interest changes proportionally with principal. Would there be a similar relationship for compound interest? Why?
Solution:
Time period (T) and rate of interest (R) are fixed, then
Simple interest = \(\frac {PRT}{100}\) = P × Constant
So simple interest depends on principal. Simple interest changes proportionally with principal.
Now, compound interest = P(1 + \(\frac {R}{100}\))^T – P
i.e., A – P
= P [(1 + \(\frac {R}{100}\)^T – 1]
= P × Constant
So compound interest depends on principal.
If principal increases or decreases, then compound interest will also increases or decreases.
Thus, compound interest changes with principal.

1. Take a few problems discussed so far under ‘direct variation’. Do you think that they can be solved by ‘unitary method’?
Solution:
Yes, each problem can be solved by unitary method.
e.g. Question 4 of Exercise: 13.1
Number of bottles filled in 6 hours = 840
∴ The number of bottles filled in 1 hour = \(\frac {840}{6}\) = 140
The number of bottles filled in 5 hours = 140 × 5 = 700
Thus, 700 bottles will it fill in five hours.

1. Observe the following tables and find which pair of variables (here x and y) are in inverse proportion.

Question (i)

X	50	40	30	20
y	5	6	7	8

Solution:
x₁ = 50 and y₁ = 5
∴ x₁y₁ = 50 × 5
∴ x₁y₁ = 250

x₂ = 40 and y₂ = 6
∴ x₂y₂ = 40 × 6
∴ x₂y₂ = 240

x₃ = 30 and y₃ = 7
∴ x₃y₃ = 30 × 7
∴ x₃y₃ = 210

x₄ = 20 and y₄ = 8
∴ x₄y₄ = 20 × 8
∴ x₄y₄ = 160
Now 250 ≠ 240 ≠ 210 ≠ 160
∴ x₁y₁ ≠ x₂y₂ ≠ x₃y₃ ≠ x₄y₄
∴ x and y are not in inverse proportion.

Question (ii)

X	100	200	300	400
y	60	30	20	15

Solution:
x₁ = 100 and y₁ = 60
∴ x₁y₁ = 100 × 60
∴ x₁y₁ = 6000

x₂ = 200 and y₂ = 30
∴ x₂y₂ = 200 × 30
∴ x₂y₂ = 6000

x₃ = 300 and y₃ = 20
∴ x₃y₃ = 300 × 20
∴ x₃y₃ = 6000

x₄ = 400 and y₄ = 15
∴ x₄y₄ = 400 × 15
∴ x₄y₄ = 6000
Now x₁y₁ = x₂y₂ = x₃y₃ = x₄y₄
∴ x and y are in inverse proportion.

Question (iii)

X	90	60	45	30	20	5
y	10	15	20	25	30	35

Solution:
x₁ = 90 and y₁ = 10
∴ x₁y₁ = 90 × 10
∴ x₁y₁ = 900

x₂ = 60 and y₂ = 15
∴ x₂y₂ = 60 × 15
∴ x₂y₂ = 900

x₃ = 45 and y₃ = 20
∴ x₃y₃ = 45 × 20
∴ x₃y₃ = 900

x₄ = 30 and y₄ = 25
∴ x₄y₄ = 30 × 25
∴ x₄y₄ = 750

x₅ = 20 and y₅ = 30
∴ x₅y₅ = 20 × 30
∴ x₅y₅ = 600

x₆ = 30 and y₆ = 35
∴ x₆y₆ = 5 × 35
∴ x₆y₆ = 175

Now x₁y₁ = x₂y₂ = x₃y₃ ≠ x₄y₄ ≠ x₅y₅ ≠ x₆y₆
∴ x and y are in inverse proportion.

Number of spokes	4	6	8	10	12
Angle between a pair of consecutive spokes	90°	60°	…	…	…

Question (i)
Are the number of spokes and the angles formed between the pairs of consecutive spokes in inverse proportion?
Solution:
Here, more the number of spokes, less the measure of angle between a pair of consecutive spokes.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
Here,

Now, the table is as follows:

Number of spokes	4	6	8	10	12
Angle between a pair of consecutive spokes
	90°	60°	45°	36°	30°

Question (ii)
Calculate the angle between a pair of consecutive spokes on a wheel with 15 spokes.
Solution:
Let the measure of angle be x°.
∴ 15 × x° = 4 × 90°
∴ x° = \(\frac{4 \times 90^{\circ}}{15}\) = 24°
Hence, this angle should be 24°.

Question (iii)
How many spokes would be needed, if the angle between a pair of consecutive spokes is 40°?
Solution:
Let the number of spokes be n.
∴ n × 40° = 4 × 90°
∴ n = \(\frac{4 \times 90^{\circ}}{40^{\circ}}\) = 9
Thus, 9 spokes would be needed.

4. If a box of sweets is divided among 24 children, they will get 5 sweets each. How many would each get, if the number of the children is reduced by 4?
Solution:

Number of children x	Number of sweets y
x1 = 24	y1 = 5
x2 = 24 – 4 = 20	y2 = (?)

Here, if the number of children decreases, then the number of sweets received by each child will increase.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
x₁ × y₁ = x₂ × y₂
∴ 24 × 5 = 20 × y₂
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{24 \times 5}{20}\) = 6
Thus, each child will get 6 sweets.

5. A farmer has enough food to feed 20 animals in his cattle for 6 days. How long would the food last if there were 10 more animals in his cattle?
Solution:

Number of animals x	Number of days y
x1 = 20	y1 = 6
x2 = 20 + 10 = 20	y2 = (?)

Here, the number of animals increases, so the number of days to feed them will decrease.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
∴ x₁ × y₁ = x₂ × y₂
∴ 20 × 6 = 30 × y₂
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{20 \times 6}{30}\) = 4
Thus, the food will last for 4 days.

6. A contractor estimates that 3 persons could rewire Jasminder’s house in 4 days. If, he uses 4 persons instead of three, how long should they take to complete the job?
Solution:

Number of persons x	Number of days y
x1 = 42	y1 = 63
x2 = (?)	y1 = 63

Here, more the number of persons, less will be the time required to complete the job.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
∴ x₁ × y₁ = x₂ × y₂
∴ 3 × 4 = 4 × y₂
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{3 \times 4}{4}\) = 3
Thus, 3 days will be required to complete the job.

x1 = 12	y1 = 25
x2 = 20	y2 = (?)

Here, more the number of bottles in a box, less would be the number of boxes.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
∴ x₁ × y₁ = x₂ × y₂
∴ 3 × 4 = 4 × y₂
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{3 \times 4}{4}\) = 3
Thus, 15 boxes would be filled.

8. A factory requires 42 machines to produce a given number of articles in 63 days. How many machines would be required to produce the same number of articles in 54 days?
Solution:

Number of machines x	Number of days y
x1 = 42	y1 = 63
x2 = (?)	y2 = 54

Here, if the number of days will be less, the number of machines required will be more.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
∴ x₁ × y₁ = x₂ × y₂
∴ 42 × 63 = x₂ × 54
∴ x₂ = \(\frac{42 \times 63}{54}\) = 49
Thus, 49 machines would be required.

9. A car takes 2 hours to reach a destination by travelling at the speed of 60 km/h. How long will it take when the car travels at the speed of 80 km/h?
Solution:

Speed (km/h) x	Number of hours y
x1 = 60	y1 = 2
x2 = 80	y2 = (?)

Here, if the speed of car increases, then the time taken to cover the same distance will decrease.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
∴ x₁ × y₁ = x₂ × y₂
∴ 60 × 2 = 80 × y₂
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{60 \times 2}{80}=\frac{3}{2}=1 \frac{1}{2}\) h
Thus, car would take 1\(\frac {1}{2}\) hours.

10. Two persons could fit new windows in a house in 3 days.

Question (i)
One of the persons fell ill before the work started. How long would the job take now?
Solution:

Number of persons x	Number of days y
x1 = 2	y1 = 3
x2 = 2 – 1 = 1	y2 = (?)

Here, less the number of persons, more would be the number of days to complete the job.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
∴ x₁ × y₁ = x₂ × y₂
∴ 2 × 2 = 1 × y₂
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{2 \times 3}{1}\) = 6
Thus, it would take 6 days to complete the job.

Question (ii)
How many persons would be needed to fit the windows in one day?
Solution:

Number of days x	Number of persons y
x1 = 3	y1 = 2
x2 = 1	y2 = (?)

Here, less the number of days, more will be the number of persons needed.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
∴ y₂ = ? and x₂ = 1
∴ x₁ × y₁ = x₂ × y₂
∴ 3 × 2 = 1 × y₂
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{3 \times 2}{1}\) = 6
Thus, 6 persons would be needed.

11. A school has 8 periods a day each of 45 minutes duration. How long would each period be, if the school has 9 periods a day, assuming the number of school hours to be the same?
Solution:

Number of periods x	Length of each period (in minute) y
x1 = 8	y1 = 45
x2 = 9	y2 = (?)

Here, the number of periods is more, then the length of each period will be less.
∴ This is a case of inverse proportion.
∴ x₁ × y₁ = x₂ × y₂
∴ 8 × 45 = 9 × y₂
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{8 \times 45}{9}\) = 40
Thus, each period would be of 40 minutes.

PSEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 13 Direct and Inverse Proportions Ex 13.1

1. Following are the car parking charges near a railway station upto:

Check if the parking charges are in direct proportion to the parking time.
Solution:
Here, ratio of parking charges and parking time are as follow:

Parking time	Parking charges	Parking charge / Parking time
4 hours	₹ 60	\(\frac{60}{4}=\frac{15}{1}\)
8 hours	₹ 100	\(\frac{100}{8}=\frac{25}{2}\)
12 hours	₹ 140	\(\frac{140}{12}=\frac{35}{3}\)
24 hours	₹ 180	\(\frac{180}{24}=\frac{15}{2}\)

Here, \(\frac {15}{1}\) ≠ \(\frac {25}{2}\) ≠ \(\frac {35}{3}\) ≠ \(\frac {15}{2}\)
Thus, the parking charges are not in direct proportion to the parking time.

2. A mixture of paint is prepared by mixing 1 part of red pigments with 8 parts of base. In the following table, find the parts of base that need to be added:
Solution:

Parts of red pigment	1	4	7	12	20
Parts of base	8	…	…	…	…

If parts of red pigment are x₁, x₂, x₃, x₄ and x₅ respectively, then parts of base are y₁, y₂, y₃, y₄ and y₅ respectively. Here, it is clear that mixture preparation is in direct proportion.

Thus, the table is

Parts of red pigment	1	4	7	12	20
Parts of base	8	32	56	96	160

3. In Question 2 above, if 1 part of a red pigment requires 75 ml of base, how much red pigment should we mix with 1800 ml of base?
Solution:
See as per question 2 –
x₁ = 1, y₁ = 75, x₂ = ? and yx₂ = 1800
\(\frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{y_{2}}\)
∴ \(\frac{1}{75}=\frac{x_{2}}{1800}\)
∴ x₂ = \(\frac{1 \times 1800}{75}\)
∴ x₂ = 24
Thus, 24 ml of red pigment should be mixed with 1800 ml of base.

4. A machine in a soft drink factory fills 840 bottles in six hours. How many bottles will it fill in five hours?
Solution:
Let the number of bottles filled by machine in 5 h be x.

Number of hours (x)	6	5
Number of bottles filled (y)	840	?

Here, as the number of hours decreases, the number of bottles filled will also decrease.
∴ It is case of direct proportion.
Here, x₁ = 6, y₁ = 840, x₂ = 5 and y₂ = ?
\(\frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{y_{2}}\)
∴ \(\frac{6}{840}=\frac{5}{y_{2}}\)
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{5 \times 840}{6}\)
∴ y₂ = 700
Thus, 700 bottles will be filled in 5 hours.

5. A photograph of a bacteria enlarged 50,000 times attains a length of 5 cm as shown in the diagram. What is the actual length of the bacteria? If the photograph is enlarged 20,000 times only, what would be its enlarged length?
Solution:

Enlargement in picture of bacteria	Length (cm)
50,000 times enlarged (x1)	5 (y1)
1 (x2)	? (y2)

Here, length of bacteria increases as picture of bacteria enlarges.
∴ It is case of, direct proportion.

Hence, the actual length of bacteria is 10^-4 cm.
Now, the photograph is enlarged 20,000 times.

Enlargement in picture of bacteria	Length (cm)
50,000 times enlarged (x1)	5 (y1)
20,000 times enlarged (x1)	? (y2)

∴ \(\frac{50,000}{5}=\frac{20,000}{y_{2}}\)
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{20,000 \times 5}{50000}\)
∴ y₂ = 2
Thus, its enlarged length would be 2 cm.

6. In a model of a ship, the mast is 9 cm high, while the mast of the actual ship is 12 m high. If the length of the ship is 28 m, how long is the model ship?
Solution:

–	Actual ship	Model ship
Length of the ship x	28 m	?
Height of mast y	12m	9 cm

This is a case of direct proportion.
x₁ = 28, y₁ = 12, x₂ = ?, y₂ = 9
\(\frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{y_{2}}\)
∴ \(\frac{28}{12}=\frac{x_{2}}{9}\)
∴ x₂ = \(\frac{28 \times 9}{12}\)
∴ x₂ = 21
Thus, the length of model ship is 21 cm.

7. Suppose 2 kg of sugar contains 9 × 10⁶ crystals. How many sugar crystals are there in

Thus, there are 2.25 × 10⁷ crystals of sugar in 5 kg of sugar.

Question (ii)
1.2kg of sugar?
Solution:

Weight of sugar (kg) x	Number of sugar crystals y
x1 = 2	y1 = 9 × 106
x2 = 1.2	y2 = (?)

Here. x₁ = 2, x₁ = 9 × 10⁶, x² = 1.2, y² = ?
\(\frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{y_{2}}\)
∴ \(\frac{2}{9 \times 10^{6}}=\frac{1.2}{y_{2}}\)
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{1.2 \times 9 \times 10^{6}}{2}\)
∴ y₂ = 0.6 × 9 × 10⁶
∴ y₂ = 5.4 × 10⁶
Thus, there are 5.4 × 10⁶ crystals of sugar in 1.2 kg of sugar.

8. Rashmi has a road map with a scale of 1 cm representing 18 km. She drives on a road for 72 km. What would be her distance covered in the map?
Solution:

Actual distance (km) x	Distance on the map (cm) y
x1 = 18	y1 = 1
x2 = 72	y2 = (?)

This is a case of direct proportional.
Here, x₁ = 18 km, y₁ = 1 cm, x₂ = 72 km, y₂ = ?
\(\frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{y_{2}}\)
∴ \(\frac{18}{1}=\frac{72}{y_{2}}\)
∴ y₂ = \(\frac{72 \times 1}{18}\)
∴ y₂ = 4
Thus, the distance covered by her on the map is 4 cm.

9. A 5 m 60 cm high vertical pole casts a shadow 3 m 20 cm long. Find at the same time

Question (i)
the length of the shadow cast by another pole 10 m 50 cm high
Solution:

Height of vertical pole x	Length of shadow y
x1 = 5 m 60 cm = 560 cm	y1 = 3 m 20 cm = 320 cm
x2 = 10 m 50 cm = 1050 cm	y2 = (?)

This is a case of direct proportionality.

Thus, the length of the shadow cast by another pole is 6 m.

Question (ii)
the height of a pole which casts a shadow 5 m long.
Solution:

Height of vertical pole x	Length of shadow y
x1 = 560 cm	y1 = 320 cm
x2 = (?)	y2 = 5 m = 500 cm

x₁ = 560, y₁ = 320, x₂ = ?, y₂ = 500
\(\frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{y_{2}}\)
∴ \(\frac{560}{320}=\frac{x_{2}}{500}\)
∴ x₂ = \(\frac{560 \times 500}{320}\)
∴ x₂ = 875 cm
∴ x₂ = 8.75 cm
Thus, the height of the pole is 8,75 m.

10. A loaded truck travels 14 km in 25 minutes. If the speed remains the same, how far can it travel in 5 hours?
Solution:

Distance (km) x	Time (minute) y
x1= 14	y1 = 25
x2 = (?)	y2 = 5 hours = 300

This is a case of direct proportion.
∴ Here, x₁ = 14, y₁ = 25, x₂ = ?, y₂ = 300
\(\frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{y_{2}}\)
∴ \(\frac{14}{25}=\frac{x_{2}}{300}\)
∴ x₂ = \(\frac{14 \times 300}{25}\)
∴ x₂ = 168
Thus, loaded truck can travel 168 km in 5 h.
