Question -

Which of the following are in inverse proportion?
(i) The number of workers on a job and the time to complete the job.
(ii) The time taken for a journey and the distance travelled in a uniform speed.
(iii) Area of cultivated land and the crop harvested.
(iv) The time taken for a fixed journey and the speed of the vehicle.
(v) The population of a country and the area of land per person.



Answer -

(i) As the number of workers increase, the job will take less time to complete. Hence, they are inversely proportional.
(ii) For more time, more distance to travel. Hence, they are not inversely proportional.
(iii) More area of land cultivated, more crop to harvest. Hence, they are not inversely proportional.
(iv) If speed is increased, it will take less time to complete the fixed journey. Hence, they are inversely proportional.
(v) If the population of a country increases, then the area of land per person will be decreased. Hence, they are inversely proportional.
