OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS :
Tick the correct answer in each of the following :

Question 1.
Solution:
Cost of 14 kg of pulses = Rs 882
Cost of 1 kg of pulses Rs $$\\ \frac { 882 }{ 14 }$$
Cost of 22 kg of pulses = Rs $$\frac { 882\times 22 }{ 14 }$$
= 63 x 22
= Rs 1386

Question 2.
Solution:
Let x be oranges which can be bought for Rs. 33.80
8 : x : : 10.40 : 33.80
=> x × 10.40 = 8 x 33.80
=> $$\frac { 8\times 33.80 }{ 10.40 }$$
=> $$\frac { 8\times 3380 }{ 1040 }$$
= 26
∴ No. of oranges = 26 Ans. (c)

Question 3.
Solution:
No. of bottles 420 x
Time 3 5
More time, more bottles
By direct proportion
420 : x :: 3 : 5
x = $$\frac { 420\times 5 }{ 3 }$$
= 700
∴ No. of bottle will be 700 (b)

Question 4.
Solution:
Distance covered 75 km x
Time taken 60 min. 20 min.
Less time, less distance By direct proportion,
75 : x :: 60 : 20
x = $$\frac { 75\times 20 }{ 60 }$$
= 25
∴ Distance covered = 25 km (a)

Question 5.
Solution:
No. of sheets 12 : x
Weight 40 g : 1000 g
More weight, more sheets
By direct proportion 12 : x :: 40 : 1000
x = $$\frac { 12\times 1000 }{ 40 }$$
= 300
∴ No. of sheets = 300 (c)

Question 6.
Solution:
Let x be the height of tree
Height of pole 14 m : x m
Length of shadow 10 m : 7 m
By direct proportion 14 : x :: 10 : 7
x = $$\frac { 14\times 7 }{ 10 }$$
= $$\\ \frac { 98 }{ 10 }$$
= 9.8 m
∴ Height of the = 9.8 m (b)

Question 7.
Solution:
Let actual length of bacteria = x cm
Enlarged (times) 50000
Length 5 cm
Then actual length (x)
Then $$\frac { x\times 50000 }{ -4 }$$
= 5
=> x = $$\\ \frac { 5 }{ 50000 }$$
= $$\\ \frac { 1 }{ 10000 }$$
= 10 cm (c)

Question 8.
Solution:
No. of pipes 6 : 5
Time taken to 120 min : x min
fill the tank
Less pipes, more time
By inverse proportion 6 : 5 :: x : 120
x = $$\frac { 6\times 120 }{ 5 }$$
= 144 (b)
∴ Time taken = 144 minutes

Question 9.
Solution:
Let number of days = x, then
Persons 3 : 4
(Time taken to build a wall) 4 : x
More person, less time take
By inverse proportion,
3 : 4 :: x : 4
x = $$\frac { 4\times 3 }{ 4 }$$
= 3 (b)
∴ Time taken to build the wall = 3 days

Question 10.
Solution:
Let time taken will be x hrs
Speed 60 km/h : 80 km/h
Time taken to 2hr : x
reach
(More speed, less time)
By inverse proportion 60 : 80 :: x : 2
x = $$\frac { 60\times 2 }{ 80 }$$
= $$\\ \frac { 3 }{ 2 }$$
∴ Time take $$\\ \frac { 3 }{ 2 }$$ hours or 1 hr. 30 m in. (a)
