Variation Introduction: Types of Variation : There are two types of variation such as follows : 1) Direct Variation 2) Inverse Variation. Examples of Direct Variation : 1) If 10 books cost Rs. 100, then what is the cost of 15 such books ? Ans. : Here, as the cost of book will increases with an increases in their number, we have a case of direct variation. x = Number of books = 10 y = Cost of 10 books = 100 therefore, x / y = 10 / 100 also, Number of books = 15 Suppose cost of 15 books = Rs. y In direct variation, the ratio of the number of books of the cost of books must be constant. therefore, 10 / 100 = 15 / y y = ( 100 × 15 ) / 10 y = 150 therefore, the cost of 15 books is Rs. 150 2) If the shadow of a 12 meter high building falls 9 meters then how many meters will the shadow of a 9 meter high building fall? Ans. : Suppose x = building height y = building of shadow x / y = 12 / 9 = 9 / y therefore, y = ( 9 × 9 ) / 12 y = 81 / 12 y = 6.75 meters Th...

Linear equations in two variables : Definition of simultaneous equations : " Two equations that are considered at the same time are called simultaneous equations. " Solution of simultaneous equations : if each of the equations in a simultaneous equation is satisfied by a common value pair of variables then this pair of variables is called a solution of a simultaneous equation. Simultaneous equations examples : 1) x + y = 100      x - y = 20 So how many x and y. Solution : x + y = 100 -------- I x - y = 20 --------- II Adding equation I from equation II , we get 2x = 120 x = 120 / 2 x = 60 Let's put  x = 60 in equation I , we get 60 + y = 100 y = 100 - 60 y = 40 Therefore, values of x and y  is ( 60, 40 ) . By verification : The given solution should be kept in the equation. If both the values   are the same then it should be considered as a solution. Above two simultaneous equations are x + y = 100 and x - y = 20 put x...

What is Linear equation : Important things to remember : 1) Real numbers a and b (where a is not equal to zero) and x is a variable, So the equation ax + b = 0 is called one variable linear equation. 2) The left hand side of the equation ax + b = 0 is a linear polynomial and there is only one variable in that polynomial. 3) If a given equation converts to an equation of the form ax + b = 0, then it is said to be a linear equation in one variable. 4)The exponent of the x variable in the equation is one. These equations are like the general form of the linear equation ax + b = 0. So they are linear equations. Linear equation example : 1) 5x - 12 = 0 2) 7x + 6 = 9x - 4 3) x + 9 = 4x. Solve the equation : 1) The number by which both sides of the equation are equal in value. That number is said to satisfy the equation. 2) The number that satisfies the equation is called the solution of the equation. 3) The set of solutions of an equation is the set of solutions of tha...

Single equation method :  An equation has a single variable, that equation is called a single variable. If the variable exponent of a variable equation is 1, then that equation is called a simple equation. Example : a + 7 = 18 The value at which the variable satisfies the equation is called a unitary equation. Examples of single equation : 1)  3a + 4 = 10             3a = 10 - 4             3a = 6             a = 6 / 3             a = 2 2) 4a + 1 = 9            4a = 9 - 1            4a = 8            a = 8 / 4            a = 2 3) 3b - 5 = 4           3b = 4 + 5           3b = 9           b = 9 / 3           b = 3 4) (...

What is Partnership: In a trade, sometimes two or more partners invest their capital together and divide the profit or loss in that trade into the amount invested. If the capital invested in a trade is for different periods, then the division of profit or loss is in proportion to the multiplication of capital and term. Properties of partnership : 1. The amount invested to set up a trade or industry is called capital. 2. People who participate in a transaction are called partners. 3. The transaction of the partner is called partnership. 4. If the trading partners have the same term, the profit or loss share is equal to the capital. 5. A partnership of equal duration is called a simple partnership. 6. If the trading partners have different capital and term, the distribution of profit or loss is equal to the product of capital and term. 7. Trade partnership if the profit or loss is the same, There is an inverse ratio between the capital ratio and the term ratio. ...
