C. Equal Proportion

Answer 1

Answer:

Inverse Proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse Proportion is a term used to define the inverse relation between two things i.e, if one increases the other decreases.

Answer 2

Two quantities x and y are said to be in inverse proportion if an increase in x causes a proportional decrease in y and vice-versa in such a manner that the product of their corresponding values remains constant. (Option B)

• Any two terms, that are in proportion to one another, vary with an increase or reduction in the other term.
• When this proportion is inverse, the decrease in one of the quantities will lead to a rise in the other quantity.
• The terms form an indirect proportion and change alternatively, rather than similarly.
• So, the relevant proportion here is inverse.
