How are colloids classified on the basis of(i) Physical states of components(ii) Nature of dispersion medium and(iii) Interaction between dispersed phase and dispersion medium?

Answer»

Colloids can be classified on various bases:

(i) On the basis of the physical state of the components (by components we mean the dispersed phase and dispersion medium). Depending on whether the components are solids, liquids, or gases, we can have eight types of colloids.
(ii) On the basis of the dispersion medium, sols can be divided as:

Dispersion mediumName of sol
WaterAquasol or hydrosol
AlcoholAlcosol
BenzeneBenzosol
GasesAerosol

(iii) On the basis of the nature of the interaction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium, the colloids can be classified as lyophilic (solvent attracting) and lyophobic (solvent repelling).

Read the passage given below:Manav Singh had been farming his land for the past 20 years . His father had also been farming in the same land. But now he is unable to irrigate the agricultural land as the ground water level has gone down and the monsoon rains are also irregular. He has an option to connect the cannal irrigation that the Government has initiated but is finding it difficult to implement the process. He knows that Farmers world wide will need to increase crop production, either by increasing the amount of agricultural land to grow crops or by enhancing productivity on existing agricultural lands to meet the global demand.However, the ecological and social trade -off of clearing more land for agriculture are often high, particularly in the tropics. And right now, crop yields the amount of crops harvested per unit of land cultivated are growing too slowly to meet the predicted demand for food. Even if some regions increase their output and traders reduce the mismatch between supply and demand, doubling food production by 2050 will undeniably be a major challenge.Thus the last resort for farmers, Manav Singh thinks would be to grow more on the land they currently operate through what is called “sustainable intensification”. This means using precision farming tools, such as GPS fertiliser dispenser, advanced irrigation systems, and environmentally optimized crop rotations. These methods can help produce more crop, especially in parts of Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe with large yield gaps.. They can also reduce the negative environmental impacts from over stressing resources -preventing groundwater depletion and the destruction of fertile lands through over-use of fertiliser.Net irrigated area (%) of India has increased from nearly 18 to 48% in recent times due to government interventions at various levels (Fig. 1). Although the government has given much emphasis on improving canal system in various five year plans but it has declined over years (Fig. 1). People have identified groundwater irrigation as much reliable and independent source of irrigation. Groundwater irrigation has taken quantum jump since 1965.Percent net irrigated to net sown area and per cent canal irrigated & per cent groundwater irrigated to net irrigated area (Source: based on data from DES, 2017-18); NIA %: Net Irrigated area to net sown area, GW %: Groundwater share in net irrigated area, SW %: Surface water share in net irrigated area October-December 2019]In order to attract more investments in agriculture, the risks need to be reduced by governments. Regulators need to overhaul policies that is affecting the inclusion of small, rural farmers into the financial system. More supportive policies, laws and public spending on infrastructure would help create a favourable investment climate for agriculture1. Which of the following pairs given in the options can conclude Paragraph 3 and start 4 respectively? A. Over the last 30 years, investment in agriculture has declined resulting in low productivity and stagnant production. B. Thus, as banking sectors in developing countries give fewer loans to farmers are bearing huge losses. C. If we have to use methods extensively more agricultural research is needed which further highlights the need of investments in agriculture. a) C- A b) C-B c) A-Bd) B-A 2. What does the author want to convey by, ‘would help create a favourable investment climate for agriculture’ as mentioned in the passage in the italics? A. The climate conditions need to be improved to improve food production. B. With supportive policies and laws investments in agriculture are likely to increase. C. Lower returns in agriculture are the main reason behind low investment. a) Only A & C b) Only A & B c) Only B d) Only B & C 3. Which of the following is /are true according to passage? A. Paragraph 2 only highlights how food demand can easily be met in the near future. B. Rising food demand is likely to affect developed countries more severely than the developing countries. C. Increasing land under agriculture, can impact the ecology negatively. a) Only A & B b) Only B c) Only C d) Both A & C 4. What is the author’s view about sustainable intensification mentioned in paragraph 3? a) It I only useful for countries which have small yield gaps. b) It may increase food production to meet the rising demands. c) It will have a tremendous negative impact on the environment. d) It is hyped and may not work in the long run. 5. The graph indicates that the irrigation of agricultural land in India using canal system has _______ a) Increased through the years b) Decreased through the years c) Equal all these years d) None of the above 6.

If alfa and beta are the zeroes of polynomial ax2+bx+c then find the value of alfa plus beta

Answer»

bx + c


Given quadratic polynomial is f(x)=ax^ 2 +


The zeroes of the polynomial are aß zeros = - b/a


Sum of the alpha + beta = - b/a Poduct of the alpha beta=> c a Squaring both sides, zeros = c/a


Now, alpha + beta = - b/a


=>( alpha+ beta)^ 2 =-( b a )^ 2


=> alpha^ 2 + beta^ 2 +2 alpha beta= b^ 2 a^ 2

=>a^ 2 + beta^ 2 +2( c a )= b^ 2 a^ 2


=> alpha^ 2 + beta^ 2 = b^ 2 a^ 2 - 2c a


=> alpha^ 2 + beta^ 2 = b^ 2 -2ca a^ 2


=>a^ 2 + beta^ 2 = b^ 2 -2ac a^ 2

Find:(dy)/(dx) - 1/x y = xy2\(\frac{dy}{dx}-\frac1{x}y = xy^2\)

Answer»

\(\frac{dy}{dx}-\frac1{x}y = xy^2\) 

⇒ \(\frac1{y^2}\frac{dy}{dx}-\frac1{x}.\frac1{y}=x\)----(1)

Let \(\frac1y=z\)

Then \(-\frac{1}{y^2}\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dz}{dx}\) 

Then from (1), we obtain

\(-\frac{dz}{dx}-\frac1{x}z=x\) 

⇒ \(\frac{dz}{dx}+\frac1{x}z=-x\) 

\(\therefore\) I.F. = e\(\int\)pdx = e\(\int\) (1/x)dx = elog x = x

\(\therefore\) Complete solution is

y x I.F. = \(\int\)(I.F.). Q dx

⇒ y \(\times\) x = \(\int\)\(\times\) -x dx

⇒ yx = -\(\int\)x2dx

⇒ yx = \(-\frac{x^3}3+C\) 

⇒ y = \(-\frac{x^2}3+\frac{C}x\) 

Hence, solution of given differential equation is

y = \(-\frac{x^2}3+\frac{C}x\)

\[ x^{2} \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}+5 x \frac{d y}{d x}-5 y=2  \log x \text {. } \] By cauchy's Homogeneous method.

Answer»

Given differential equation is

x2 \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+5x\frac{dy}{dx}-5y=2log x\)

Let x = ez then x\(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{dz}\) = Dy, where \(\frac{d}{dx}=D\)

and \(x^2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) = D(D - 1)y

\(\therefore\) Given differential equation converts into

D(D - 1)y + 5Dy - 5y = 2z (\(\because\) log x = z)

⇒ (D2 - D + 5D - 5)y = 2z

⇒ (D2 + 4D - 5)y = 2z----(1)

It's auxilarly equation is

m2 + 4m - 5 = 0

⇒ (m + 5)(m - 1) = 0

⇒ m + 5 = 0 or m - 1 = 0

⇒ m = -5 or m = 1

\(\therefore\) C.F. = C1e-5z + C2ez

& P.I. = \(\frac{1}{D^2+4D-5}2z\) 

\(=\frac{-2}5\cfrac1{1-\frac{D^2+4D}5}z\) 

 

\(=\frac{-2}5(1-\frac{D^2+4D}5)^{-1}z\)

\(=\frac{-2}5(1+\frac{D^2+4D}5+\frac{(D^2+4D)^2}{5^2}+....)z\)

(\(\because\) (1 - x)-1 = 1 + x + x2+....)

\(=\frac{-2}5(z+\frac15D^2z+\frac45 Dz)\) 

\(=\frac{-2}5(z+0+\frac45)\) (\(\because\) Dz = \(\frac{dz}{dz}=1\))

\(=\frac{-2}5z-\frac8{25}\) 

\(\therefore\) Complete solution of differential equation(1) is

y = C.F. + P. I.

 = C1(ez)-5 + C2ez\(\frac25z-\frac8{25}\)

 = C1x-5 + C2 x - \(\frac25\) log x - \(\frac8{25}\)

(\(\because\) ez = x ⇒ z = log x)

 = \(\frac{C_1}{x^5}+C_2x - \frac25logx-\frac8{25}\) 

which is solution of given differential equation.

In a plane triangle find the maximum value of \( \cos A \cdot \cos B \cdot \cos C \).

Answer»

\(\because\) A.M. \(\geq\) G.M.

\(\therefore\) \(\frac{cos A+cos B+cos C}3\geq(cos A. cos B. cos C)^{1/3}\)

But we know that Cos A + Cos B + Cos C \(\leq\) 3/2

\(\therefore\) (cos A. Cos B. Cos C)1/3 \(\leq\) \(\frac{3/2}3=\frac12\)

\(\therefore\) Cos A. Cos B. Cos C \(\leq\) \((\frac1{2})^3\) 

⇒ Cos A. Cos B. Cos C \(\leq\) \(\frac18\) 

Hence, maximum value of Cos A. Cos B. Cos C is 1/8

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 578

Given:

134, 245, 356, 467

Calculation:

⇒ 134 + 111 = 245

⇒ 245 + 111 = 356

⇒ 356 + 111 = 467

⇒ 467 + 111 = 578

∴ The missing number is 578.

The cost price of an item is Rs Q and it was marked up on its cost price by R%. A discount of S% was provided while selling the item such that the percentage profit earned in selling it was 12.5% and the profit earned was Rs 45. If the article had been sold at a mark-up of (4R/5)% on the cost price and discount provided was R%, there would have been a loss of Rs 36. Which of the following can be determined?(A) The value of Q (B) The value of R(C) The value of S (D) Initial profit if the item had been sold without providing discount.1. Only A and B2. Only B and C3. Only A, B and C4. All A, B, C and D5. None of A, B, C and D

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : All A, B, C and D

S.P of the item = Rs (Q + 45)

So, ((Q + 45) – Q)/Q) × 100% = 12.5%

⇒ 45/Q = 0.125

⇒ Q = 360

S.P of the item = Rs. 405

M.P of the item = Rs. 360(1 + R/100)

S.P of the item = Rs 360(1 + R/100)(1 – S/100)

So, 360 (1 + R/100)(1 – T/100) = 405

⇒ (1 + R/100)(1 – S/100) = 9/8 ----(i)

In new scenario :

S.P of the item = 360(1 + (4R/5)/100) (1 – R/100)

Since, there is a loss of Rs 36, S.P = 360 – 36 = 324

So, 360(1 + (4R/5)/100) (1 – R/100) = 324

Let R/100 = x

So, (1 + 4x/5) (1 – x) = 9/10

⇒ 1 – x + 4x/5 – 4x2/5 = 9/10

⇒ 10 – 10x + 8x – 8x2 = 9

⇒ 8x2 + 2x – 1 = 0

⇒ (2x + 1) (4x – 1) = 0

⇒ x = -1/2 or ¼

If x = -1/2, R = -50, but the percentage markup cannot be negative,

So, x = ¼, B = 25

Putting in (i)

(1 + ¼)(1 – S/100) = 9/8

⇒ 1 – S/100 = 9/10

⇒ C = 10

S.P of the item if it was sold without discount =

360 × (125/100) = Rs 90

So, all (Q), (R), (S) and (T) are determined.

If the selling price of 10 booklets is equal to the cost price of 12 booklets then the percentage gain or loss is?1. Gain 20%2. Loss 20%3. Gain 25%4. Loss 25%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Gain 20%

Given:

Selling price of 10 booklets= Cost price of 12 booklets

Formula used:

Gain% = ((S.P. – C.P.)/C.P) × 100

Calculation:

S.P. of 10 = C.P. of 12

S.P/C.P = 12/10

Let C.P. be 10x

So, S.P. = 12x

Gain% = ((12x – 10x)/10x) × 100

⇒ Gain% = 20%

Gain% is 20%

The marked price of a TV is 40% higher than the cost price. If a trader sells the TV allowing a 20% discount then the profit percentage will be?1. Profit 10%2. Profit 12%3. Profit 15%4. Profit 20%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Profit 12%

Given:

The marked price of TV = 40% higher than CP

Discount is given by the Trader = 20%

Formula used:

S.P = M.P × (100 – D%)/100

S.P = C.P × (100 + P%)/100

P = S.P – C.P

P% = (P/C.P) × 100

Where,

S.P → Selling price

M.P → Marked price

D% → Discount%

P% → Profit%

P → Profit

C.P → Cost price

Calculation:

Let the price of T.V be 100x

Marked price is 40% more = 100x + 100x × (40/100) = 140x

S.P of the T.V after 20% discount = 140x × 80/100 = 112x

Profit = 112x – 100x = 12x

Profit% = (12x/100x) × 100

⇒ Profit% = 12%

Profit% is 12%

Suraj's sum is four times that of Ravi's sum. Ravi's sum is sixteen times Aditya's sum. What is the ratio of the sums of Aditya and Suraj?1. 1 : 642. 1 : 243. 64 : 14. 1 : 16

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1 : 64

Let the sum of Suraj be S,

Let the sum of Aditya be A, and

Let the sum of Ravi be R.

Hence, from the given conditions, we get:

S = 4R      ----(i)

R = 16A

⇒ A = R/16      ----(ii)

So, we can obtain the ratio of the sums of Aditya and Suraj as:

A/S = (R/16)/4R = 1/64

∴ The required ratio of the sums of Aditya and Suraj is 1 ∶ 64

Suraj and Prabhakar jointly made a profit of Rs. 11,000 in the share market and they decided to share it such that (1/3) of Suraj's profit is equal to (2/5) of Prabhakar's profit. Find the profit of Prabhakar.1. Rs. 60002. Rs. 55003. Rs. 50004. Rs. 6500

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 5000

Given:

Total profit made by Prabhakar and Suraj = Rs. 11000

1/3 of Suraj’s profit = 2/5 Prabhakar’s profit

Calculation:

1/3 of Suraj’s profit = 2/5 Prabhakar’s profit

Suraj’s profit ∶ Prabhakar’s profit = 6 ∶ 5

Let profit of Suraj be 6x

So, the Profit of Prabhakar = 5x

Total of Suraj and Prabhakar's profit = 6x + 5x = 11x

⇒ 11x = Rs. 11000

⇒ x = Rs. 11000/11

⇒ x = Rs. 1000

⇒ Prabhakar's profit = 1000 × 5 = Rs. 5000

Profit of prabhakar is Rs. 5000

Ratio of the marked price of a trouser and a jacket is 5 : 7 respectively. The shopkeeper gives 30 percent discount on the trouser. If the total discount offered on both of them together is 50 percent, then what is the discount percentage offered on the jacket?1. 34.682. 60.763. 654. 64.28

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 64.28

Given:

Ratio of the marked price(MP) of a trouser and a jacket = 5 : 7

Discount on trouser = 30%

Total discount on both of them = 50%

Formula used:

Discount% = (Discount/MP) × 100

Calculation:

Let the MP of trouser and jacket be 5x and 7x

Discount on trouser = 0.3 × 5x = 1.5x

Total discount on both = 0.5 × (5x + 7x) = 6x

⇒ Discount on jacket = 6x - 1.5x = 4.5x

Discount% on jacket = (4.5x/7x) × 100 = 64.28

∴ Discount on jacket = 64.28%

Suraj faced a loss of 17% on selling a phone at Rs. 11,620. Find the C.P.1. Rs. 13,6402. Rs. 14,5303. Rs. 14,0004. Rs. 15,580

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 14,000

Given:

SP of phone = Rs. 11,620

Loss% = 17%

Formula used:

CP = SP × [100/(100 – Loss%)] 

Calculation:

CP = Rs. 11,620 × [100/(100 – 17)]

⇒ Rs. 11620 × (100/83)

⇒ Rs. 14,000

∴ The C.P of phone was Rs. 14,000

The marked price of the goods for a shopkeeper was X. He marked them at a 20% higher price than the Cost price. Finally he sold the goods at 30% discount. Did he earn a profit or incur a loss percentage?1. 5.5% Profit2. 10% Profit3. 16% Loss4. 5% Loss5. 10% Loss

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 16% Loss

Given:

MRP = 20% more than C.P

Discount = 30%

Concept Used:

Cost price × (100 + Profit %)/100 = Selling price

Discount % = {(MRP - SP)/MRP} × 100

Calculation:

Cost price = CP,  Selling price = SP,  Marked price = MRP

Let CP be 100.

MRP = 20% more than CP

⇒ MRP = 120

Discount = 120 × 30% 

⇒ 36

SP = 120 - 36

⇒ 84 

⇒ Loss = {(100 - 84)/100} × 100

∴ Loss percent is 16%

Ramesh bought a table of cost Rs. 5000. After a successive discount of 22 percent and 37 percent, He spent ₹ 543 on transportation and sold the table at ₹ 4200. What is the percentage profit?1. 50 2. 603. 404. 455. 55

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 40

Given:

Marked price of the table = ₹ 5000

Successive discount = 22 percent and 37 percent

Selling price of the table = ₹ 4200

Transportation charges = ₹ 543

 

Formula used:

Profit = Selling price – Cost price

Discount = Marked price – Selling price

Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost price) × 100

Discount percentage = (Discount/Marked price) × 100

 

Calculation:

Cost price of the table = 5000 × [(100 – 22)/100] × [(100 – 37)/100]

⇒ 5000 × (78/100) × (63/100) = 2457

Total cost price of the table = 2457 + 543 = 3000

Profit on table = 4200 – 3000 = 1200

Profit percentage = (1200/3000) × 100 = 40%

 The profit percentage after selling the table is 40%.

Ramesh bought 200 spoons at a total price of 2400. He sold 150 spoons at Rs 14 per spoon. At what rate he would sell the remaining 50 spoons so as to gain a profit of 10%?1. Rs. 10.82. Rs. 12.63. Rs. 14.64. Rs. 8.4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 10.8

Given:

Ramesh bought 200 spoons at a total price of Rs. 2400.

He sold 150 spoons at Rs. 14 per spoon.

Formula Used:

Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost Price

Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price

Profit percentage = (Profit /Cost Price) x 100

Loss percentage = (Loss/Cost price) x 100

Calculation:

Ramesh bought 200 spoons at a total price of Rs. 2400

Selling price = Rs. (150 × 14) = Rs. 2100

Amount remains for no profit no loss = Rs. (2400 – 2100) = Rs. 300

To gain a overall 10% the selling price = Rs. (2400 × 11/10) = Rs. 2640

⇒ 2640 – 2100 = 540

Rate = 540/50 = 10.8

∴ The rate is 10.8%

The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum at 10% per annum for 2 years is Rs. 631. Find the sum.

Answer»

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then, 

C.I. = x ( 1 + ( 10 /100 ))2 - x = 21x / 100 , 

S.I. = (( x * 10 * 2) / 100) = x / 5 

(C.I) - (S.I) = ((21x / 100 ) - (x / 5 )) = x / 100

(x/100) = 632

x = 63100

Hence, the sum is Rs.63,100.

The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest accrued on an amount of Rs. 18,000 in 2 years was Rs. 405. What was the rate of interest p.c.p.a. ?

Answer»

Let the rate be R% p.a. then, 

[ 18000 ( 1 + ( R / 100 )2 ) - 18000 ] - ((18000 * R * 2) / 100 ) = 405 

18000 [ ( 100 + (R / 100 )2 / 10000) - 1 - (2R / 100 ) ] = 405 

18000[( (100 + R )2 - 10000 - 200R) / 10000 ] = 405 

9R2 / 5 = 405 

R2 =((405 * 5 ) / 9) = 225 

R = 15. 

Rate = 15%.

Find the transformed equation of x cosα + y sinα = p when the axes are rotated through an angle ‘α’.

Answer»

Let (X, Y) be the new coordinates of (x, y)

So,  x = X cosα – Y sinα, y = X sinα + Y cosα

The transformed equation is (X cosα – Y sinα) cosα + (X sinα + Y cosα) sinα = p

=> X cos2α – Y sinα cosα + Y sin2α + Y cosα sinα = p 

=> X(cos2α + sin2α) = p

=>X = p.

The diameter of a wheel is 40 cm. How many revolutions will it make in covering 176 m?

Answer»

Given the diameter of the wheel is 2r = 40 cm. 

∴ The radius of the wheel is r = 20 cm. 

∴ The circumference of the wheel is 2\(\pi\)r = 40\(\pi\) cm = 40 × 3.14 cm = 125.6 cm. 

So, distance covered in 1 revolution = 125.6 cm. 

∴ No. of revolution to covering distance 125.6 cm is 1. 

∴ No. of revolution to covering distance 1 cm is \(\frac{1}{1256}\).

∴ No. of revolution to covering distance 17600 cm is \(\frac{1}{125.6} \times 17600 = 140.12\).

Hence, total 141 revolution needed for a wheel of diameter 40 cm to cover a distance of 176 m in travelling.

Diameter of wheel = 40 cm = 0.4 m   Radius of wheel = D/2  = 0.4 / 2       = 0.2m

Circumference of wheel = 2πr  = 2 × 22/7 × 0.2  =  1.256m .

Therefore , distance covered in one revolution = 1.256m 

No. Of revolutions to cover 176 m   = Total Distance / Distance     covered in one revolution

= 176 / 1.256  = 140.12

Hence , No of revolutions required to cover the distance of 176 m is 141 revolutions .

If \(\rm \vec a\) is a unit vector and \(\rm \left(\vec x + 2\vec a\right) \cdot \left(\vec x - 2\vec a\right) = 12\), then find \(|\rm \vec x |\).1. 42. 73. 84. 2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 4

Concept:

\(\rm \left(\vec a + \vec b\right) \cdot \left(\vec a - \vec b\right) = \left|\vec a\right|^2-\left|\vec b\right|^2\)

If \(\rm \vec u\) is a unit vector, then \(\rm \left|\vec u\right|=1\).

 

Calculation:

It is given that \((\rm \vec x + \rm 2\vec a) \cdot (\rm \vec x - \rm 2\vec a) = 12\).

⇒ \(\rm \left|\vec x\right|^2 - 4\left|\vec a\right|^2 = 12\)

Since \(\rm \vec a\) is a unit vector, we get:

⇒ \(\rm \left|\vec x\right|^2 - 4= 12\)

⇒ \(\rm \left|\vec x\right|^2 =16\)

⇒ \(|\rm \vec x |\) = 4

Learn Direct and Inverse Proportion Formula and Notes for class 8 and clear all concepts of this chapter.

Answer»

Direct and inverse proportion:

Let us consider some examples to understand direct and inverse proportion:

  1. More you ride your bicycle the more distance you will cover.
  2. More the packets of biscuits more the number of biscuits.
  3. If there are many shops of the same kind then less will be the crowd.
  4. If there is more advertisement in newspaper then less will be the news.

From the above examples, it is clear that change in one quantity leads to change in the other quantity.

Types of proportions:

There are two proportions i.e. direct and inverse proportion.

  1. Direct proportion:

  • We can say two quantities x and y in direct proportion if they increase (decrease) together in the same manner.
  • Also, two quantities x and y in direct proportion if they increase (decrease) together in such a manner that the ratio of their corresponding values remains constant. That is if \(\frac{x}{y}\) = k [k is a positive number], then x and y are said to vary directly.
  • In such a case if y1, y2 are the values of y corresponding to the values x1 , x2 of x respectively then \(\frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}}\) = \(\frac{x_{2}}{y_{2}}\)
  • If x is directly proportional to y, we can write it as x ∝ y.

Variables increasing (or decreasing) together need not always be in direct proportion. For example:

  • In human beings, physical changes occur with time but not necessarily in a predetermined ratio.
  • Among individuals when we talk about changes in weight and height are not in any known proportion.
  • In natural phenomena such as there is no direct relationship or ratio between the height of a tree and the number of leaves growing on its branches.
  1. Inverse proportion:

  • We can say two quantities x and y in direct proportion if they increase (decrease) together in the same manner.
  • Also, two quantities x and y are said to be in inverse proportion if an increase in x causes a proportional decrease in y (and vice-versa) in such a manner that the product of their corresponding values remains constant. That is, if xy = k, then x and y are said to vary inversely.
  • In such a case if y1, y2 are the values of y corresponding to the values x1 , x2 of x respectively then \(\frac{x_{1}}{x_{2}}\) = \(\frac{y_{2}}{y_{1}}\)
  • If x is inversly proportional to y, we can write it as x ∝ \(\frac{1}{y}\).

Direct and inverse proportion examples:

  1. An electric pole, 14 metres high, casts a shadow of 10 metres. Find the height of a tree that casts a shadow of 15 metres under similar conditions.

Solution:

More the height of an object, the more would be the length of its shadow.
Thus, x1 : x2 = y1 : y2
14 : x = 10 : 15
10 × x = 15 × 14
thus, x = 21

  1. 6 pipes are required to fill a tank in 1 hour 20 minutes. How long will it take if we use only 5 pipes of the same type?
    Solution:
Number of pipes65
Time (in minutes)80x

This is a case of inverse proportion as less number of pipes, it will require more time to fill the tank.
Hence, 80 × 6 = x × 5  as [x1y1 = x2 y2]
or, \(\frac{80x6}{5}\)
x = 96
Thus, time taken to fill the tank by 5 pipes is 96 minutes or 1 hour 36 minutes.

Anant invested Rs. 81000 in a business for 8 months and then 4000 more for 4 months. B invested certain amount for 4 months and then increased the invested amount by 5000 for the remaining 8 months. The ratio of their profits was 247 : 130. Find the amount invested by B in the last 8 months.1. 440002. 350003. 400004. 45000

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 45000

Given:

Anant invested Rs. 81000 in a business for 8 months and then 4000 more for 4 months. B invested certain amount for 4 months and then increased the invested amount by 5000 for the remaining 8 months. The ratio of their profits was 247 : 130.

Formula:

Ratio of Profit = ratios of product of Amount invested and time

Calculation:

Let the amounts invested by B for 4 and 8 months respectively be x and x + 5000 respectively.

(81000 × 8 + 85000 × 4)/(x × 4 + (x + 5000) × 8) = 247/130

(988000)/(12x + 40000) = 247/130

⇒ 4000/(12x + 40000) = 1/130

⇒ 1000/(3x + 10000) = 1/130

⇒ 130000 = 3x + 10000

⇒ x = 40000

The amount invested by B in the last 8 months = x + 5000 = 40000 + 5000 = 45000

How is denial of service attack a threat to network security ?

Answer»

Have you ever found yourself waiting impatiently for the online release of a product, one that you’re eagerly waiting to purchase? You keep refreshing the page, waiting for that moment when the product will go live. Then, as you press F5 for the last time, the page shows an error: “Service Unavailable.” The server must be overloaded! 

There are indeed cases like these where a website’s server gets overloaded with traffic and simply crashes, sometimes when a news story breaks. But more commonly, this is what happens to a website during a DoS attack, or denial-of-service, a malicious traffic overload that occurs when attackers over flood a website with traffic. When a website has too much traffic, it’s unable to serve its content to visitors. 

A DoS attack is performed by one machine and its internet connection, by flooding a website with packets and making it impossible for legitimate users to access the content of flooded website. Fortunately, you can’t really overload a server with a single other server or a PC anymore. In the past years it hasn’t been that common if anything, then by flaws in the protocol. 

A DDoS attack, or distributed denial-of-service attack, is similar to DoS, but is more forceful. It’s harder to overcome a DDoS attack. It’s launched from several computers, and the number of computers involved can range from just a couple of them to thousands or even more. 

Since it’s likely that not all of those machines belong to the attacker, they are compromised and added to the attacker’s network by malware. These computers can be distributed around the entire globe, and that network of compromised computers is called botnet.

Since the attack comes from so many different IP addresses simultaneously, a DDoS attack is much more difficult for the victim to locate and defend against.
