Question

X varies inversely as square of Y given that Y =2 for x=1, the value of x for y=6 will be?

Answer 1

In inverse proportion,

We follow this formula...

x1y1=x2y2....and so on(the numbers 1 and 2 are not written in terms of square...they are written as subscripts)..

So,

2*1=x*6

2/6=x

Hence

x=1/3

Gotcha?
