Inverse Variation Using Unitary Method
Now we will learn how to solve inverse variations using unitary method.
We know, the two quantities may be linked in such a way that if one increases, other decreases. If one decreases, the other increases.
Some situations of inverse variation using unitary method:
● More men at work, less time taken to finish the work.
● More speed, less time is taken to cover the same distance.
Solved examples on inverse variations using unitary method:
1. If 52 men can do a piece of work in 35 days, then 28 men will complete the same work in how many days?
Solution:
This is a situation of inverse variation, now we solve using unitary method.
52 men can do the work in 35 days.
1 man can do the work in (35 × 52) days.
28 men can do the work in days. (35 × 52)/28 days
Therefore, 28 men can do the work in 65 days.
2. In a camp there is enough food for 500 soldiers for 35 days. If 200 more soldiers join the camp, how many days will the food last?
Solution:
This is a situation of inverse variation, now we solve using unitary method.
For 500 soldiers, food lasts for 35 days.
For 1 soldier, food lasts for (35 × 500) days.
Since 200 more join. So, now the number of soldiers is (500 + 200) = 700.
For 700 soldiers, food lasts for (35 × 500)/700 days
Therefore, for 700 soldiers, food lasts for = 25 days.
3. Sara starts at 8:00 AM by bicycle to reach school. She cycles at the speed of 18 km/hour and reaches the school at 8:22 AM. By how much should she increase the speed so that she can reach the school at 8:12 AM?
Solution:
This is a situation of inverse variation, now we solve using unitary method.
In 22 minutes the same distance is covered at the speed of 18 km/hr.
In 1 minute the same distance is covered at the speed of (18 × 22) km/hr.
In 12 minutes the same distance is covered at the speed of (18 × 22)/12 km/hr.
Therefore, in 12 minutes the same distance is covered at the speed of 16 km/hr.
4. 32 workers can complete a work in 84 days. How many workers will complete the same work in 48 days?
Solution:
This is a situation of inverse variation, now we solve using unitary method.
To complete the work in 84 days, workers required = 32
To complete the work in 1 day, worker required = (32 × 84)
To complete the work in 48 days workers required = (32 × 84)/48
Therefore, to complete the work in 48 days, 56 workers are required.
