We have to check if the numbers are inversely proportional

For this we know that two numbers x and y are inversely proportional is y=

x

1

So, for x and y to be inversly proportional xy=Constant

6×9=54

10×15=150

14×21=294

16×24=384

Since the values obtained are not equal

∴x and y are not inversely proportional.
