الموضوع: Direct proportion
1. y is directly proportional to x². When x = 2, y = 12. Find y when x = 5.
الحل
D. 75
- y = kx², so 12 = k × 4 and k = 3.
- When x = 5: y = 3 × 25 = 75.
الموضوع: Inverse proportion
2. y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 3, y = 8. Find y when x = 6.
الحل
C. 4
- y = k/x, so 8 = k/3 and k = 24.
- When x = 6: y = 24/6 = 4.
الموضوع: Reverse percentages
3. After a 20% increase, a price is £84. What was the original price?
الحل
B. £70
- The new price is 120% of the original: multiplier 1.2.
- 84 ÷ 1.2 = £70.
الموضوع: Combining ratios
4. x : y = 3 : 5 and y : z = 2 : 7. Find x : z.
الحل
A. 6 : 35
- Make y the same in both: x : y = 6 : 10 and y : z = 10 : 35.
- So x : y : z = 6 : 10 : 35, and x : z = 6 : 35.
الموضوع: Density
5. A block has a mass of 600 g and a volume of 250 cm³. Find its density.
الحل
D. 2.4 g/cm³
- Density = mass ÷ volume.
- 600 ÷ 250 = 2.4 g/cm³.
الموضوع: Compound units
6. Convert 72 km/h to metres per second.
الحل
C. 20 m/s
- 72 km/h = 72 000 m in 3600 s.
- 72 000 ÷ 3600 = 20 m/s.
الموضوع: Growth
7. A population of 500 bacteria doubles every hour. How many are there after 4 hours?
الحل
B. 8000
- After 4 hours: 500 × 2⁴.
- 500 × 16 = 8000.
الموضوع: Percentage change
8. A price falls from £250 to £190. Find the percentage change.
الحل
A. 24% decrease
- Change = 250 − 190 = 60.
- Percentage change = 60 ÷ 250 × 100 = 24%, and it is a decrease.
الموضوع: Similar shapes
9. Two similar shapes have lengths in the ratio 1 : 3. What is the ratio of their areas?
الحل
D. 1 : 9
- Area scale factor = (length scale factor)².
- 3² = 9, so 1 : 9.
الموضوع: Pressure
10. A force of 600 N acts on an area of 0.5 m². Find the pressure.
الحل
C. 1200 Pa
- Pressure = force ÷ area.
- 600 ÷ 0.5 = 1200 Pa (N/m²).
