Solution

The correct option is B inverse
(No. of toffees each student )×(No . of students) = Total no. of toffees

e.g. Let's say teacher has 100 toffees and if No. of students are 25, then the
No. of toffees each student will get is 10025 = 4
And if No. of students are 50, then the No. of toffees each student will get is 10050 = 2.
Hence, as the No. of students increases, the No. of toffees per student will decrease.

So, No. of students and toffees they get after distributing equally are in inverse proportion.
