Question

Following are the car parking charges near a railway station upto

4 hours ₹60
8 hours ₹100
12 hours ₹140
24 hours ₹180

Check if the parking charges are in direct proportion to the parking time.

Sum

Solution

Parking time
(in hours)
Parking
charges
(in ₹)
Proportion
4 60 `4/60= 1/15`
8 100 `8/100 = 2/25`
12 140 `12/140 = 3/35`
24 180 `24/180 = 2/15`

Since, `1/15 ne 2/25 ne3/35 ne 2/15`

∴ The parking timing is not in direct proportion to parking charges.
