Take a clock and fix its minute hand at 12.
Record the angle turned through by the minute hand from its original position and the time that has passed, in the following table:
| Time Passed (T) (in minutes) |
(T1) 15 | (T2) 15 | (T3) 45 | (T4) 60 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Angle turned (A) (in degree) | (A1) 90 | (A2) __ | (A3) __ | (A4) __ |
| \(T\over A\) | - | - | - | - |
What do you observe about T and A? Do they increase together? Is \(T\over A\) same every time?
Is the angle turned through by the minute hand directly proportional to the time that has passed? Yes; From the above table, you can also see
T1 : T2 = A1 A2, because
T1 : T2 = 15 30= 1 :2
A1 : A2 = 90 180 = 1 :2
Check if T2: T3 = A2 A3 and T3 : T4 = A3 : A4
You can repeat this activity by choosing your own time interval.

we have, \(-13\over19\)
\(\therefore\)The multiplicative inverse of \(-13\over19\) is\(19\over-13\)
22.
We have, -13
\(\therefore\)The multiplicative inverse of -13 is \(-1\over13\)
23.
We have, x = \(-13\over17\)
\(LHS =-(-x)=-\{-({-13\over17})\}=-\{{13\over17}\}\)
=-\({13\over17}\) = x = RHS
So, - (-x) = x is verified for x = \({13\over17}\).
24.
We have, x =\(11\over15\)
LHS = -(-x) = -\(({11\over15})={11\over15}=X=RHS\)

= \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \times \left( \frac { -3 }{ 7 } \right) -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } +\frac { 1 }{ 14 } \times \frac { 2 }{ 5 } \)
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \times \left( \frac { -3 }{ 7 } \right) +\frac { 1 }{ 14 } \times \frac { 2 }{ 5 } -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) (Using commutativity)
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \left[ \frac { -3 }{ 7 } +\frac { 1 }{ 14 } \right] -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) (using distributivity)
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \left[ \frac { -6+1 }{ 14 } \right] -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } =\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \times \frac { -5 }{ 14 } -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)
= \(\frac { -1 }{ 7 } -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } =\frac { -4-7 }{ 28 } =\frac { -11 }{ 28 } \)
31.
Rational numbers are closed under multiplication, e.g.\({2\over 12}\times{1\over 12}={2\over 144}\) , which is a rational number.
32.
We have the sum of the digits of 51x3
= 5+1+x+3=9+x
Since, 51x3 is divisible by 9.
∴ (9 + x) must be divisible by 9.
∴ (9 + x) must be equal to 0 or 9 or 18 or 27
or ... But x is a digit, then
9+x=9 ⇒ x=0
9 + x = 18 ⇒ x = 9
x = 27 ⇒ x = 18, which is not possible.
∴ The required value of x = 0 or 9.
33.
We have

i.e., 1728 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
\(\Rightarrow\) 1728 = 23 x 23 X 33
\(\Rightarrow\) 1728 = (2 x 2 x 3)3
\(\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{1728}\) = 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
Since 1728 is a perfect cube.
\(\therefore\) -1728 is also a perfect cube.
Also\(\sqrt[3]{1728} =-12\)
\(\Rightarrow\) -1728 is a perfect cube of -12.
34.
Since, a Pythagorean triplet is given by 2n,
n2 - 1 and n2 + 1.
\(\therefore\) 2n = 15 or n =\(\frac{15}{2}\)s not an integer.
So, let us assume th~t
n2 - 1 = 15
or n2 = 15 + 1 = 16
or n2 = 42, i.e. n = 4
Now, the required Pythagorean triplet is
2n, n2 - 1 and n2 + 1
or 2(4), 42 - 1 and 42 +
or 8, 15 and 17
35.
Since, \({ \left( \frac { a }{ b } \right) }^{ m }=\frac { { a }^{ m } }{ { b }^{ m } } \quad and\quad { (a }^{ m })^{ n }={ a }^{ mn }\)
\(\therefore \quad { \left[ { \left( \frac { -4 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ -2 } \right] }^{ 2 }={ \left( \frac { -4 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ -2\times 2 }={ \left( \frac { -4 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ -4 }={ \left( \frac { 5 }{ -4 } \right) }^{ 4 }\)
\(=\frac { 5\times 5\times 5\times 5 }{ (-4)\times (-4)\times (-4)\times (-4) } =\frac { 625 }{ 256 } \)
Thuss, \({ \left[ { \left( \frac { -4 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ -2 } \right] }^{ 2 }=\frac { 625 }{ 256 } \)
36.
We have
A rational number between -3 and -4
= \(\frac { (-3)+(-4) }{ 2 } =\frac { -7 }{ 2 } \)
A rational number between (-3) and \(\frac { -7 }{ 2 } \)
\(\left[ \left( -3 \right) +\left( \frac { -7 }{ 2 } \right) \right] \div 2=\left[ \frac { -6+(-7) }{ 2 } \right] \times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
= \(\frac { -13 }{ 2 } \times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { -13 }{ 4 } \)
A rational number between \(\left( \frac { -7 }{ 2 } \right) \) and (-4)
= \(\left[ \frac { -7 }{ 2 } +(-4) \right] \div 2=\left[ \frac { -7+(-8) }{ 2 } \right] \div 2\)
= \(\frac { -15 }{ 2 } \times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { -15 }{ 4 } \)
Thus, the three rational numbers
\(\left( \frac { -7 }{ 2 } \right) ,\left( \frac { -13 }{ 4 } \right) \) and \(\left( \frac { -15 }{ 4 } \right) \) are between (-3) and (-4).

| Numbers of bottles filled | Number of hours |
| 540 x |
6 5 |
Let the required number of bottles to be filled in 5 hours be x
Since, more number of bottles, more number of hours would be required.
\(\therefore\) The given quantities very directly
\(\therefore \ \frac { 540 }{ x } =\frac { 6 }{ 5 } \Rightarrow 6\times x=5\times 540\)
\(\Rightarrow \ x=\frac { 5\times 540 }{ 6 } =5\times 90=450\)
Thus, the required number of bottles = 450
43.
Here, as the base increased, the required number of green pigments will also increase.
\(\therefore\) The quantity vary directly:
i.e.,\(\frac { 1 }{ 6 } =\frac { 4 }{ { x }_{ 1 } } =\frac { 5 }{ { x }_{ 2 } } =\frac { 6 }{ { x }_{ 3 } } \)
\(\therefore\) \(\frac { 4 }{ { x }_{ 1 } } =\frac { 1 }{ 6 } \Rightarrow 1\times { x }_{ 1 }=4\times 6\Rightarrow { x }_{ 1 }=24\)
\(\frac { 1 }{ 6 } =\frac { 5 }{ { x }_{ 2 } } \Rightarrow 1\times { x }_{ 2 }=5\times 6\)
\(\Rightarrow { x }_{ 2 }=\frac { 5\times 6 }{ 1 } =30\)
\(\frac { 1 }{ 6 } =\frac { 6 }{ { x }_{ 3 } } \Rightarrow 1\times { x }_{ 3 }=6\times 6\)
\(\Rightarrow \ { x }_{ 3 }=\frac { 6\times 6 }{ 1 } =36\)
Thus, the required unknown quantities are: x1 = 24, x2 = 30, and x3 = 36.

Let the length of the diagonal BD be x cm
\(\because\) Area of a quadrilateral \(=\frac{1}{2}\times(diagonal)\times\) (Sum of the length of perpendiculars on the diagonal from the opposite vertices)
\(\therefore\) Area of the quadrilateral ABCD
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times BD\times(AP+CQ)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times x\ cm\times(4.5\ cm+3.5\ cm)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times x\times 8\ cm^2\)
Since area of the quadrilateral ABCD = 32 cm2
\(\therefore \frac{1}{2}x\times 8=32\Rightarrow x=\frac{32\times2}{8}\ cm=8\ cm\)
Thus, the required length of the diagonal BD = 8 cm.
46.
Let the number of plates on the table be y and the number of puris be x.
Then, according to the first condition of the problem
4(y - 1) = x ...(1)
and, according to the second condition of the
problem
3y + 1= x ... (2)
From (1) and (2), we have
4(y - 1) = 3y + 1
⇒ 4y - 4 = 3y + 1
⇒ 4y - 3y = 1 + 4
⇒ y=5
Put y = 5 in (1), we get
x = 4(5) - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16
Hence, the number of plates and number of puris on the table are 5 and 16 respectively.
47.
| Time Passed (T) (in minutes) |
(T1) 15 | (T2) 15 | (T3) 45 | (T4) 60 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Angle turned (A) (in degree) | (A1) 90 | (A2) __ | (A3) __ | (A4) __ |
| \(T\over A\) | \({15\over 90}={1\over6}\) | \({30\over 180}={1\over6}\) | \({45\over 270}={1\over6}\) | \({60\over 360}={1\over6}\) |
We observe about T and A that they increase together and is \(T\over A\) same every time.
Yes; The angle turned by the minute hand is directly proportional to the time that has passed.
On checking, we find that
T2 : T3 = A1 : A3 = 2: 3
and T3 : T4 = A3 : A4 = 3 : 4
