Observe the tables given below and in each case find whether x and y are inversely proportional:
(i)
X | 6 | 10 | 14 | 16 |
Y | 9 | 15 | 21 | 24 |
(ii)
X | 5 | 9 | 15 | 3 | 45 |
Y | 18 | 10 | 6 | 30 | 2 |
(iii)
X | 9 | 3 | 6 | 36 |
Y | 4 | 12 | 9 | 1 |
Here we check the values of x × y
(i) 6 × 9 = 54, 10 × 15 = 150, 14 × 21 = 294, 16 × 24 = 384 ; unequal
(i) 5 × 18 = 90, 9 × 10 = 90, 15 × 6 = 90, 3 × 30 = 90,45 × 2 = 90; equal
(i) 9 × 4 = 36, 3 × 12 = 36, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 9 = 54, 36 × 1 = 36 ;unequal
