In 1975, the consumption of water for human use was about 3850 cu.km/year. It increased to about 6000 cu.km/year in the year 2000. Find the per cent increase in the consumption of water from 1975 to 2000. Also, find the annual per cent increase in consumption (assuming water consumption increases uniformly).
उत्तर
The consumption of water for human in 1975 = 3850 cu km/yr
The consumption of water for human in 2000 = 6000 cu km/yr
Increase in consumption of water in 1975 to 2000 = 6000 – 3850 = 2150 cu km/yr
In percentage = `2150/3850 xx 100 = 55.84%`
In 25 yr total increase in water consumption = 2150 cu km/yr
∴ Annually, i.e. per year water consumption =`2150/25` = 86 cu km/yr ...[∵ 2000 – 1975 = 25 yr]
∴ In percentage = `86/3850 xx 100`
= `8600/3850`
= 2.23%

Sunscreens block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays. For example, if you apply sunscreen with SPF 15, you get 1 minute of UV rays for every 15 minutes you stay in the sun.
Suppose a sunscreen allows 25% of the sun’s UV rays.
- What fraction of UV rays does this sunscreen block? Give your answer in lowest terms.
- Use your answer from Part (a) to calculate this sunscreen’s SPF. Explain how you found your answer.
