Question

Two quantities exhibit inverse variation if an increase in the first quantity results in:

Options

• a proportional increase in the second.

• a proportional decrease in the second.

• no change in the ratio of the quantities.

• the second quantity becoming constant.

Answer 1

A proportional decrease in the second.

Explanation:

Inverse variation means the two quantities change in opposite directions. Therefore, when one quantity increases, the other decreases proportionally.
