CHAIN RULE

Direct Proportion:
Two quantities are said to be directly
proportional, if on the increase (or
decrease) of the one, the other increases
(or decreases) to the same extent.

E.g. Cost is directly proportional to the


number of articles.
(More Articles, More Cost)

DEPARTMENT OF CAREER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT


Indirect Proportion:
Two quantities are said to be indirectly
proportional, if on the increase of the
one, the other decreases to the same
extent and vice-versa.

Eg. The time taken by a car is covering a


certain distance is inversely proportional
to the speed of the car. (More speed,
Less is the time taken to cover a
distance.)

TYPE 2. If M1 persons can do W1 work in
D1 days for h1 hours and M2 persons can

job in x days.
If A alone does the work and takes a days
more than A and B working together.
If B alone does the work and takes b days
more than A and B working together.
Then, x=(a b)^1/2 days

Example 1: 12 examiners work 16 hours a day to check 24000
answer sheets in 18 days. Now, 24 examiners would check
how many answer sheets working 6 hours a day in 36 days?

Answer & Explanation

M1=12,T1=16,D1=18 ;W1=24000
M2=24,D2=36,T2=6,W2=?
If there are 24 examiners now and there were 12 earlier, they
will check more answer sheets.
If they work for lesser hours per day, they will check lesser
answer sheets.
MI X T1 X D1/W1 = M2 X T2 X D2 /W2
24000 × (24/12) × (6/16) × (36/18) = 36000.

TYPE4. If m1 men or b1 boys can complete a work
in D days, then m2 men and b2 boys can complete
the same work in

in D days, then 1 man, 1 woman and 1 boy together
can together do the same work in
