In which of the following tables x and y vary inversely:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(i) Since $x$ and $y \operatorname{var} y$ inversely, we have :
$y=\frac{k}{x}$
$\Rightarrow x y=k$
$\therefore$ The product of $x$ and $y$ is constant.
In all cases, the product $x y$ is constant $($ i.e., 24).
Thus, in this case, $x$ and $y$ var $y$ inversely.
(ii) In all ca $s$ es, the product $x y$ is constant for any two pairs of values for $x$ and $y$.
Here, $x y=100$ for all cases
Thus, in this case, $x$ and $y$ var $y$ inversely.
(iii) If $x$ and $y \operatorname{var} y$ inversely, the product $x y$ should be constant.
Here, in one case, product $=6 \times 8=48$ and in the rest, product $=36$
Thus, in this case, $x$ and $y$ do not var $y$ inversely.
(iv) If $x$ and $y$ var $y$ inversely, the produc $t x y$ should be constant.
Here, product is different for all cases.
Thus, in this case, $x$ and $y$ do not var $y$ inversely.
