Question : 39 of 150

Marks: +1, -0

x varies inversely as y. When x = 3.5, then y = 2.4. What is the value of y when x = 5.6?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we can use the concept of inverse variation, which states that when two variables x and y vary inversely, their product remains constant. Mathematically, this can be represented as:

x y=k

Calculations:

x=3.5 \;\text " and "\; y=2.4 ∴ x y=8.4 ⇒ 5.6 × y=8.4 ⇒ y=8.4 \/ 5.6 ⇒ y=1.5

Hence, The Correct Answer

y = 1 . 5
