In which of the following tables x and y vary inversely:

Question: In which of the following tablesxandyvary inversely: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Solution: (i) Since $x$ and $y \operatorname{var} y$ inversely, we have : $y=\frac{k}{x}$ $\Rightarrow x y=k$ $\therefore$ The product of $x$ and $y$ is constant. In all cases, the product $x y$ is constant $($ i.e., 24). Thus, in this case, $x$ and $y$ var $y$ inversely. (ii) In all ca $s$ es, the product $x y$ is constant for any two pairs of values for $x$ and $y$. Here, $x y=100$ for all cases Thus, in this ca...
