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.

\([(10)\div 2] \div (-5) = (-5) \div (-5) = 1\)
\( (-10) \div [2 \div (-5)] =(-10) \div (- \frac{2}{5})\) = 25

\(\therefore\) product of two rational numbers = \(\frac { -28 }{ 75 } \)
Any one of the ratioanl numbers = \(\frac { 14 }{ 25 } \)
\(\therefore\) the other number = \(\left[ \frac { -28 }{ 75 } \right] \div \frac { 14 }{ 25 } \)
= \(\frac { -28 }{ 75 } \times \frac { 25 }{ 14 } =\frac { -2\times 1 }{ 3\times 1 } =\frac { -2 }{ 3 } \)
Thus, the required rational number is \(\left( \frac { -2 }{ 3 } \right) \)
30.
\(\therefore\) Reciprocal of \(\frac { 7 }{ 8 } \) is \(\frac { 8 }{ 7 } \)
Reciprocal of \(\frac { -2 }{ 21 } \) is \(\frac { -21 }{ 2 } \)
\(\therefore\) \(\left[ Reciprocal\ of\frac { 7 }{ 8 } \right] \times \left[ Reciprocal\ of\left( \frac { -2 }{ 21 } \right) \right] \)
= \(\frac { 8 }{ 7 } \times \left( \frac { -21 }{ 2 } \right) =\frac { 4\times (-3) }{ 1\times 1 } =-12\)

Here, parallel sides are 25 cm and 15 cm.
Height (i.e. distance between the parallel sides) = 12 cm
\(\because\) Area of a trapezium ABCD
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times(Sum\ of\ parallel\ sides)\times \ Height\)
\(\therefore\) Area of the trapezium ABCD
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times(25\ cm+15\ cm)\times12\ cm\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times40\times12\ cm^2=240\ cm^2\)
Thus, the required area of the trapezium ABCD = 240 cm2.

We have
A rational number between \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
= \(\left[ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } +(-2) \right] \div 2=\left[ \frac { 1-4 }{ 2 } \right] \div 2\)
= \(\left[ \frac { -3 }{ 2 } \right] \times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { -3 }{ 4 } \)
A rational number between \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) and \(\left( \frac { -3 }{ 4 } \right) \)
= \(\left[ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } +\left( \frac { -3 }{ 4 } \right) \right] \div 2\)
\(\left[ \frac { 2-3 }{ 4 } \right] \times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { -1 }{ 4 } \times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { -1 }{ 8 } \)
A rational number between \(\left( \frac { -3 }{ 4 } \right) \) and (-2)
= \(\left[ \left( \frac { -3 }{ 4 } \right) +(-2) \right] \div 2=\left[ \frac { (-3)+(-8) }{ 4 } \right] \times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
= \(\frac { -11 }{ 4 } \times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { -11 }{ 8 } \)
Thus, the three rational numbers
\(\left( \frac { -3 }{ 4 } \right) ,\left( \frac { -1 }{ 8 } \right) \) and \(\left( \frac { -11 }{ 8 } \right) \) are between \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) and (-2)

\(\frac{-1}{2}+[\frac{3}{7}+(\frac{-4}{3})] = \frac{-1}{2}+(\frac{-19}{21})=\frac{-59}{42}\)
\([\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{3}{7}]+(\frac{-4}{3})=\frac{-1}{14}+(\frac{-4}{3})=\frac{-59}{42}\)
So, Yes ; \(\frac{-1}{2}+[\frac{3}{7}+(\frac{-4}{3})]=[\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{3}{7}]+(\frac{-4}{3})\)

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, \({ \left[ { \left( \frac { -4 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ -2 } \right] }^{ 2 }=\frac { 625 }{ 256 } \)

Using the closure property over addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for rational numbers, integers, whole-numbers and natural numbers, we have:
| Number | Closed Under | |||||
| Addition | Subtraction | Multuplication | Division | |||
| Rational numbers | Yes | Yes | Yes. | No | ||
| Integers | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | ||
| Whole numbers | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | ||
| Natural numbers | Yes | No | Yes | No | ||

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.

| Time Passed (T) (in minutes) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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
