AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 10 Direct and Inverse Proportions Ex 10.2 1
Solution:
i) From the given table if the value of x is decreases then the value of ‘y’ is increases.
∴ x, y are in inverse proportion.
ii) From the given table if the value of x is increases then the value of y is decreases.
∴ x, y are in inverse proportion.
iii) From the given table the value of x is decreases then the value of y is increases.
∴ x, y are in inverse proportion.

What do you observe? As R increases, C decreases
(i) Is R1:R2 = C2:C1?
(ii) Is R3:R4 = C4:C3?
(iii) Is R and C inversely proportional to each other?
(iv) Do this activity with 36 squares.
Solution:
(i) Is R1:R2 = C2:C1
⇒ 2 : 3 = 16 : 24

(ii) Is R3:R4 = C4:C3
AP Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 10 Direct and Inverse Proportions Ex 10.2 6
R1:R2 = C2:C1

(iii) R3:R4 = C4:C3
⇒ 4 : 6 = 8 : 12
\(\frac{4}{6}=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{4 \times 2}{6 \times 2}=\frac{4}{6} \Rightarrow \frac{4}{6}=\frac{4}{6}\) =
∴ R3:R4 = C4:C3

(iv) Do this activity with 36 squares.
