उत्तर
Both x and y are in direct proportion, then `1/x` and `1/y` are in inverse proportion.
Explanation:
If both x and y are in directly proportion, then `1/x` and `1/y` are in inverse proportion.
Hence, in inverse proportion.
Notes
Two quantities x and y are said to be in inverse proportion, if an increase in x cause a proportional decrease in y and vice-versa.
