Rahul says the graph of 'area of a square against its side' is linear because both increase together. Is he right?

Class 8Linear GraphsCoordinate Geometry
  • ANo, area decreases as side increases
  • BNo, area is , so the points form a curve
  • CYes, it passes through the origin
  • DYes, both increase

Step-by-Step Solution

Areas for sides 1, 2, 3 are 1, 4, 9: the jumps 3 and 5 are unequal, so the graph curves. Increasing together is not enough.
Answer: B) No, area is , so the points form a curve
