Question

Following are the car parking charges near a railway station up to

4 hours Rs 60

8 hours Rs 100

12 hours Rs 140

24 hours Rs 180

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

Answer 1

A table of the given information is formed as

Number of hours	4	8	12	24
Parking charges (in Rs)	60	100	140	180

The ratio of parking charges to the respective number of hours (Rs/ hour) can be calculated as

As each ratio is not same, therefore, the parking charges are not in a direct proportion to the parking time.
