# Complete the Following Table Considering that the Cost of Apples and Their Number Are in Direct Variation. - SSC (English Medium) Class 8 - Mathematics

#### Question

Complete the following table considering that the cost of apples and their number are in direct variation.

 Number of apples (x) 1 4 ... 12 ... Cost of apples (y) 8 32 56 ... 160

#### Solution

It is given that the cost of apples (y) and number of apples (x) are in direct variation.

$\therefore y \propto x \Rightarrow y = kx$

where k is constant of variation
When x = 1, y = 8.
∴ 8 = k × 1
⇒ k = 8
So, the equation of variation is
y = 8x
When y = 56,
56 = 8x
⇒ x = 7
When x = 12,
y = 8 × 12 = 96
When y = 160,
160 = 8x
⇒ x = 20
The complete is given below.

 Number of apples (x) 1 4 7 12 20 Cost of apples (y) 8 32 56 96 160
Is there an error in this question or solution?
