Question 4:

Ajeeta starts off from home at 7 a.m. with her father on a scooter that goes at a uniform speed of 30 km/hr. Her father drops her at her school after half an hour. She stays in the school till 1.30 p.m. and takes an autorickshaw to return home. The autorickshaw has a uniform speed of 10 km/hr. Draw the line graph for the given situation and also determine the distance of Ajeets's school from her home.

Question 23:

Sajal can ride a scooter constantly at a speed of 30 km/hr. draw a distance-time graph for this situation.
Use the graph drawn to find:
(i)   The time taken by Sajal to ride 75 km

We have,
speed $=\frac{\mathrm{distance}}{\mathrm{time}}$

We have the following table for Distance-Time graph

 Time(hrs) 1 2 3 4 Distance(km) 30 60 90 120

(i) Given speed = 30 km/hr , distance = 75 km
using formula we have

Hence, the time taken by Sajal to ride 75 km is 2.5 hr.

(ii) Given speed = 30 km/hr , time = $3\frac{1}{2}$ hr
using formula we have,

Hence, the distance covered by Sajal in $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours is 105 km.
