(b) Distance travelled by a car

Time (in hours)6 AM7 AM8 AM9 AM
Distance (in Km)4080120160
graph

(i) How much distance did the car cover during the period 7.30 a.m. to 8 a.m?
Answer: 20 km

(ii) What was the time when the car had covered a distance of 100 km since it’s start?
Answer: 7:30 AM

(c) Interest on deposits for a year.

Deposit (in Rs.)10002000300040005000
Simple Interest (in Rs.)80160240320400
graph

(i) Does the graph pass through the origin?
Answer: Yes

(ii) Use the graph to find the interest on Rs 2500 for a year.
Answer: The mid point between 2000 and 3000 is near Rs. 200, so the interest for Rs. 2500 is Rs. 200

(iii) To get an interest of Rs 280 per year, how much money should be deposited?

Answer: Since, to get Rs. 80 per year one needs to deposit Rs. 1000
Hence, to get Re. 1 per year one needs to deposit Rs. 1000/80
Hence, to get Rs. 280 per year one needs to deposit (1000/80) x 280 = Rs. 3500
