Question:
100 The variable x is inversely proportional to y. If x increases by p%, then by what per cent will y decwsose?
Solution:
The variable x is inversely proportional to y. xy = k (constant)
Since, we know that two quantities x and y are said to be in inverse proportion, if an increase in * cause a proportional decrease in y and vice-
versa.So, we can say y decrease by p%.
