Question 1.
 A length of a bacteria enlarged 50,000 times attains a length of 5 cm. What is the actual length of the bacteria? If the length is enlarged 20,000 times only, what would be its enlarged length?
 Solution:
 After enlarging 50,000 times the length is 5 cm.
 Without enlarging (1 – times) the length Is x cm say
 ∴ 50,000 : 5 :: 1 : x
 By rule of properties
 50,000 × x = 5 × 1
 x = \(\frac{5}{50,000}=\frac{1}{10,000}\) = 0.0001 cm
Question 2.
 Observe the following tables and fmd if x is directly proportional.
 Solution:
 (i)
 
 
 In all the cases \(\frac { x }{ y }\) is constant.
 ∴ x ∝ y (x is directly proportional toy)
(ii)

 
 Here the change/increase is not uniform.
 (i.e.,) \(\frac { x }{ y }\) is not same in all cases.
 ∴ x is not directly proportional to y.
(iii)

 
 Here the change/increase is not uniform.
 (i.e.,) \(\frac { x }{ y }\) is not same in all cases.
 ∴ x is not directly proportional to y.

Question 3.
 Sushma has a road map with a scale of 1 cm representing 18 km. She drives on a road for 72 km. What would be her distance covered in the map?
 Solution:
 Scale of the map is 1 cm = 18 km
 Distance covered = 72 km
 Let it be xcm on the map
 then 1 : 18 :: x : 72
 By rule of proportion
 Product of extremes Product oÍ means
 18x = 72 × 1
 x = \(\frac{72}{18}\) = 4cm

Question 4.

 (i) the perimeter of the square.
 (ii) the area of the square.
 Solution:
