Q5 of 37 Page 195

If x ∝ y, let us show that x + y ∝ x – y.

Given:

x ∝ y


x = ky



Do componendo and dividend,





i.e. x + y ∝ x – y


hence proved.

x varies directly with y and inversely with z. When y=4, z=5, then x=3. Again, if y=16, z = 30, let us write by calculating the value of x.

x varies directly with y and inversely with z. When y=5, z=9 then Let us find the relation among three variables x, y and z and if y = 6 and let us write by calculating the value of x.
