3 |
4 |
5 |
Cost (in ₹) |
5 |
10 |
15 |
20 |
25 |
(b) Distance travelled by car
Time (in hours) |
6 a.m. |
7 a.m. |
8 a.m. |
9 a.m. |
Distances (in km) |
40 |
80 |
120 |
160 |
(i) How much distance did the car cover during the period 7.30 a.m. to 8 a.m.?
(ii) What was the time when the car had covered a distance of 100 km since it’s start?
(c) Interest on deposits for a year.
Deposit (in ₹) |
1000 |
2000 |
3000 |
4000 |
5000 |
Simple Interest (in ₹) |
80 |
160 |
240 |
320 |
400 |
(i) Does the graph pass through the origin?
(ii) Use the graph to find the interest on Rs 2500 for a year.
(iii) To get an interest of Rs. 280 per year, how much money should be deposited?
Solution:
(a) Represent the “Number of apples” as X-axis and “Cost in Rs” as Y-axis
(b) Represent the “Times (in hrs)” as X-axis and “Distance (in km)” as Y-axis
(i) The car covered 20 km distance during the period 7.30 a.m. to 8 a.m.
(ii) It was 7.30 am, when the car covered a distance of 100 km since it’s start.
(c) Represent the “Simple Interest (in Rs)” on x-axis and “Deposit (in Rs)” on y-axis.
(i) Yes, the graph passes through origin.
(ii) The interest on Rs. 2500 is Rs. 200 for a year.
(iii) Rs. 3500 should be deposited for interest of Rs. 280 per year.
Question 2: Draw a graph for the following
(i)
Side of the square(in cm) |
2 |
3 |
3.5 |
5 |
6 |

8 |
12 |
14 |
20 |
24 |
Is it linear graph?
(ii)
Side of the square(in cm) |

3 |
4 |
5 |
6 |
Area(in cm2) |
4 |
9 |
16 |
25 |
36 |
Is it linear graph?
Solution:
(i) Represent the “Side of square(in cm)” on x-axis and “Perimeter(in cm)” on y-axis.
Yes, the graph is a linear graph.
(ii) Represent the “Side of square(in cm)” on x-axis and “Area(in cm2)” on y-axis.
No, the graph is not a linear graph because the graph does not provide a straight line.
