How do we identify that the question is of direct proportion or of inverse proportion ?

Open in App

Solution

Directly proportional: as one amount increases,
another amount increases at the same rate.

Inversely Proportional: when one value decreases at the same rate that the other increases.

Now after reading the question try to understand what kind of relation is that, direct or indirect.
