Sample Questions
A school has provisions for 80 students for 15 days. If 20 more students join, how many days will the provisions last?
Show answer
12 days
More students mean fewer days, so use inverse proportion. Total student-days = 80 × 15 = 1200. For 100 students, days = 1200 ÷ 100 = 12 days.
5 workers can move 4500 bricks in a day. How many workers are needed to move 18000 bricks in a day?
Show answer
20 workers
This is direct proportion. Use the rule of three: 4500 : 18000 :: 5 : x. So x = (18000 × 5) ÷ 4500 = 20 workers.
2 pumps fill a tank in 18 hours. How long will 4 pumps of the same kind take to fill the same tank?
Show answer
9 hours
Pumps and time are inversely proportional. Product stays constant: 2 × 18 = 4 × x. So x = 36 ÷ 4 = 9 hours.
The ratio of students scoring grades A, B, C, D, and E is 12:10:8:6:4. What is the simplest form of this ratio?
Show answer
6:5:4:3:2
Divide every term by the HCF, which is 2. So 12:10:8:6:4 becomes 6:5:4:3:2.
