Question 2.
If x and y vary inversely as each other and x = 10 when y = 6. Find y when x = 15.
Solution:
Since x and y vary inversely as each other
xy = constant
10 × 6 = 15 xy
60 = 15y

Question 3.
If x and y vary inversely and if y = 35 find x when constant of variation is 7.
Solution:
Given x andy are inversely proportional
xy = constant
when y = 35 and constant = 7 ; x × 35 = 7
