Q3 of 16 Page 36

If and whenm=154, n=7. Find the value of m, when n=14.

GIVEN:


m∝n


m=154


n=7


TO FIND: Value of m, when n=14


PROOF:


m∝n


That is, 154∝7


It means that as the value of m increases, the value of n also increases.


When n=14, n becomes 2 times of its original value.


∵ m∝n


∴ m will also get double.


m=154×2


m=308


m∝n


308∝14


∴ Value of m is 308.
