Question 2.
In a computer lab, there are 3 computers for every 6 students. How many computers will
be needed for 24 students?
Solution:
For 6 students, number of computers required = 3
For 1 student, number of computers required = \(\frac{3}{6}\)
For 24 students, number of computers required = \(24 \times \frac{3}{6}=12\)
Hence, 12 computers are required for 24 students.

Question 3.
Population of Rajasthan = 570 lakhs and population of UP = 1660 lakhs.
Area of Rajasthan = 3 lakhs km2 and Area of UP = 2 lakhs km2
(i) How many people are there per km2 in both these states ?
(ii) Which states is less populated?
Solution:
(i) Population of Rajasthan in 3 lakhs km2
area = 570 lakhs
Population of rajasthan in 1 km2 area
\(=\frac{570}{3}=190\) lakhs
Population of U.P. in 2 km2 = 1660 lakhs
Population of U.P. in 1 km2 = \(\frac{1660}{2}\)
= 830 lakhs

(ii) It can be observed that population per km2 area is lesser for Rajasthan. Therefore, Rajasthan is less populated.
