Question

What is inverse proportion?

• A. As one amount increases, another amount increases at the same rate
• B. As one amount decreases, another amount increases at the same rate
• C. As one amount changes, another amount remains the same
• D. As one amount decreases, another amount decreases at the same rate

Answer 1

The correct option is B

As one amount decreases, another amount increases at the same rate

If one quantity increases the other one decreases or vice-versa.
In mathematical form inverse proportionality can be represented as AB = C, where A and B are different parameters and C is a contant.
