This particular question is in direct proportion. As per the condition of indirect proportion when X increases Y also increases or when Y increases X also increases

$\sf\boxed{Formula\:=\:x/y\:=\:k}$

Number of packets of crayons purchased by John = 24

Price of 24 crayon purchased by John = 196

Therefore number of crayon that can be purchased for rupees 72 = x/y = k

= 24×72/196
