Question

If $x$ and $y$ are inversely related and
$x\times y=36$, then match the correct pairs.

• A. $y=3$
• B. $y=4$
• C. $y=9$
• D. $y=6$

Answer 1

We know that if two quantities $x$ and $y$ are inversely related, then
$x\times y=constant$
$or,y=\frac{constant}{x}$

Given,
$x\times y=36$

So,
When $x=9$
$y=\frac{36}{9}=4$
When $x=6$
$y=\frac{36}{6}=6$
When $x=4$
$y=\frac{36}{4}=9$
When $x=12$
$y=\frac{36}{12}=3$
