Question
'x' varies directly as per 'y' and 'z'. When 'y' = 6
and 'z' = 8, then x = 16. Find the value of 'z', when 'y' = 8 and x = 24.Solution
Let x = kyz, where 'k' is some constant. ATQ; 16 = k X 6 X 8 Or, k = (1/3) So, required value = 24 = (1/3) X z X 8 Or, z = 9
- Find the fourth proportion of (2k), (3k), and (4k + 8). (Note: 'k' is the smallest two-digit prime number.)
