    Question

    If p varies directly to q and p1 = 15, q1 = 630, and p2 = 6, then find the value of q2.

    A.

    7

    B.

    84

    C.

    42

    D.

    252

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    p ∝ q (i.e., p varies directly with q)
    p₁ = 15, q₁ = 630, p₂ = 6
    Formula Used:
    Since p ∝ q, we use:
    p1q1=p2q2\frac{p_1}{q_1} = \frac{p_2}{q_2}​​
    Solution:
    Substitute the values into the formula:
    15630=6q215×q2=6×630 q2=663015 q2=378015=252 \frac{15}{630} = \frac{6}{q_2}\\15 \times q_2 = 6 \times 630\\\ \\q_2 = \frac{6 \cdot 630}{15}\\\ \\q_2 = \frac{3780}{15} = 252\\\ \\​​
