?
x varies inversely as square of y. Given that y = 2 for x = 1, the value of x for y = 6 will equal to?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
$$\eqalign{
& x \propto \frac{1}{{{y^2}}} \cr
& \left( {{\text{Inversely proportional}}} \right) \cr
& x = \frac{k}{{{y^2}}} \cr
& \left( {{\text{Given}}} \right), \cr
& \left( {y = 2} \right){\text{ for }}\left( {x = 1} \right) \cr
& \therefore 1 = \frac{k}{{{{\left( 2 \right)}^2}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 1 = \frac{k}{4} \cr
& \Rightarrow k = 4 \cr
& \therefore {\text{For }}y = 6 \cr
& x = \frac{4}{{{{\left( 6 \right)}^2}}} \cr
& x = \frac{4}{{36}} \cr
& x = \frac{1}{9} \cr} $$
