Question

Which of the following is not an example for direct proportion ?

• A. Realtion between number of articles purchased and total cost
• B. Relation between angle covered by the minutes hand and time passed ,in a clock from 12 pm to 12:30 pm
• C. Relation between speed and time taken to cover a distance
• D. Relation between distance and the time taken by a car with uniform speed.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Relation between speed and time taken to cover a distance

If the number of articles purchased increases, the total cost also increases.

In a clock, as time passes the angle subtended by the minutes hand increases linearly.

As the speed of a vehicle increases, the time taken to cover the same distance

decreases.

Hence, option C is right answer.
