Number of winners | 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 8 | 10 | 20 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Prize for each winner (in Rs) | 100000 | 50000 | … | … | … | … | … |
A table of the given information is as follows.
Number of winners | 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 8 | 10 | 20 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Prize for each winner (in Rs) | 100000 | 50000 | x1 | x2 | x3 | x4 | x5 |
From the table, we obtain 1 × 100000
\(= 2 × 50000 \)
= 100000
Thus, the number of winners and the amount given to each winner are inversely proportional to each other.
Therefore,
\(1 × 100000 = 4 × x_1\)
\(x_1 = \frac{1 × 100000}{4}\)
\(x_1 = 25000\)
\(1 × 100000 = 5 × x_2\)
\(x_2 = \frac{1 × 100000}{5}\)
\(x_2 = 20000\)
\(1 × 100000 = 8 × x_3\)
\(x_3 =\frac{ 1 × 100000}{8}\)
\(x_3 = 12,500\)
\(1 × 100000 = 10 × x_4\)
\(x_4 = \frac{1 × 100000}{10}\)
\(x_4 = 10000\)
\(1 × 100000 = 20 × x_5\)
\(x_5 = \frac{1 × 100000}{20}\)
\(x_5 = 5000\)
