Q10 of 26 Page 103

2400 Bighas of land of Cooperative Society can be cultivated by 25 farmers in 36 days. It was seen that half of the land of the Society could cultivate in 30 days after purchasing a tractor. Let’s work out the power of a tractor equivalent to the number of farmers using the method of Rule of Three.

theorem1:-


The Rule of Three is a Mathematical Rule that allows you to solve problems based on proportions. By having three numbers: a, b, c,


(a)Direct proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


(b)inverse proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


formula:- (i)direct method----


(ii)indirect or inverse proportions xy=k



GIVEN:-method used is called indirect or inverse proportions method



w1=2400,w2=1200,p1=25,p2=?,d1=36,d2=30




p2=15


therefore 15 farmer power equal to power of 1 tractor
