Question 5.
If the cost of 6 cans of juice in ₹ 210, then what will be the cost of 4 cans of juice?
Solution:
Let the cost required be x
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 1 Chapter 4 Direct and Inverse Proportion Ex 4.3 20
As number of cans increases cost also increases.
∴ They are in direct proportion
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 1 Chapter 4 Direct and Inverse Proportion Ex 4.3 21
x = 140
Cost of 4 cans of juice = 140

Question 11.
10 farmers can plough a field in 21 days. Find the number of days reduced if 14 farmers ploughed the same field?
Solution:
Let the required number of days if 14 farmers ploughed = x
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 1 Chapter 4 Direct and Inverse Proportion Ex 4.3 27
As number of farmers increases, number of days decreases.
∴ They are in inverse proportion
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 1 Chapter 4 Direct and Inverse Proportion Ex 4.3 38
Initially the farmers worked for 21 days. Now they worked for 15 days.
∴ The number of days reduced = 21 – 15 = 6 days

Question 12.
A flood relief camp has food stock by which 80 people can be benefited for 60 days. After 10 days 20 more people have joined the camp. Calculate the number of days of food shortage due to the addition of 20 more people?
Solution:
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 1 Chapter 4 Direct and Inverse Proportion Ex 4.3 39
As number of people increases food last for less number of days.
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 1 Chapter 4 Direct and Inverse Proportion Ex 4.3 40
Remaining food is to be used for 50 days.
But it only last for 40 days.
No. of days shortage = 50 – 40 = 10 days.
∴ 10 days of food shortage due to the addition of 20 more people.
