Problems on Unitary Method using Direct Variation
We will learn how to solve problems on unitary method using direct variation.
We know, if two quantities are related in such a way that the increase in one quantity results in a corresponding increases in the other and vice versa, then such a variation is called a direct variation.
Solved problems on unitary method using direct variation:
1. A lobour get $980 for 14 days work. How many days should he work to get $2100?
Solution:
This is also a situation of direct variation as money is received for working more days.
$980 is earned by a labour in 14 days.
$1 is earned by a labour in 14/980 days.
$2100 is earned by a labour in 14/980 × 2100 days.
Therefore, $2100 is earned by a labour in 30 days.
2. If 4 men and 5
women can earn $480 in a day, find how much 9 men and 11 women will earn in a
day?
Solution:
This is a situation of direction variation.
More men can earn more in a day.
In a day 4 men can earn $ 480
1 men can earn $480/4 and 9 men can earn $480/4 × 9 = $1080
Also, 5 women can earn $ 480 and 1 woman can earn $ 480/5 = $96
11 women can earn = $ 96 × 11 = $1056
Therefore, 9 men and 11 women can earn $(1080 + 1056) = $ 2136
3. A car travels 360 km in 60 liters of petrol. How much distance will it cover in 12 liters of petrol?
Solution:
This is also a situation of direct variation.
Less quantity of petrol, less distance covered.
In 60 liters of petrol, distance covered = 360 km.
In 1 liter of petrol, distance covered = 360/60 km.
In 12 liters of petrol, distance covered = 360/60 × 12 km
Therefore, in 12 liters of petrol, distance covered = 72 km.
