Solution

The correct option is B
False

If two variable x and y are directly proportional, then

$\frac{x}{y}$ = constant

If two variable x and y are inversely proportional, then

xy = constant

The given equation does not satisfy any of these conditions. So, t is neither directly nor inversely proportional to a.
