Class 8 Maths – Chapter 13
Direct and Inverse Proportions
STEP 9: Worksheet FULL ANSWERS
📝 Instructions:
• Read each solution step carefully
• Learn the method, not just the answer
✔️ Solutions
  1. Cost of notebooks
    5 notebooks = ₹75
    Cost of 1 notebook = 75 ÷ 5 = ₹15
    Cost of 12 notebooks = 12 × 15 = ₹180

  2. Workers and days (Inverse proportion)
    8 workers × 15 days = 120
    Days required by 12 workers = 120 ÷ 12 = 10 days

  3. Petrol and distance (Direct proportion)
    20 litres → 300 km
    1 litre → 300 ÷ 20 = 15 km
    35 litres → 35 × 15 = 525 km

  4. Time and distance (Direct proportion)
    3 hours → 180 km
    1 hour → 60 km
    5 hours → 5 × 60 = 300 km

  5. Men and days (Inverse proportion)
    6 men × 10 days = 60
    Days for 15 men = 60 ÷ 15 = 4 days

  6. Identify proportion
    a) Students & total marks → Direct
    b) Speed & time → Inverse
    c) Workers & time → Inverse

  7. Direct proportion
    x ∝ y → x/y = constant
    24/6 = 4
    When y = 10, x = 10 × 4 = 40

  8. Inverse proportion
    x × y = constant
    8 × 4 = 32
    When x = 16, y = 32 ÷ 16 = 2
🎯 Exam Tip:
• Always mention type of proportion
• Write formula before calculation
• Neat steps = full marks
