Q. 5
A pump of 5 HP can lift 36000 litres of water in 8 hours. Let’s work out using the method of the Rule of Three how long it will take to lift 63000 litres of water by a 7 HP pump.
Answer :
formula:-
theorem1:-
The Rule of Three is a Mathematical Rule that allows you to solve problems based on proportions. By having three numbers: a, b, c,
(a)Direct proportions rule of 3:-
if ab
c then
(b)inverse proportions rule of 3:-
if ab
c then
(i)direct method----
(ii)indirect or inverse proportions xy=k
given:-method used is called indirect or inverse proportions method
