    Question

    M is inversely proportional to N. If M is 18, then N is 10. If N = 9, then what is the value of M?

    A.

    22

    B.

    21

    C.

    23

    D.

    20

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    M is inversely proportional to N

    When M = 18, N = 10

    Find M when N = 9

    Concept Used:

    In inverse proportion, the product of the two variables remains constant:

    M × N = constant

    Solution:

    From the first condition:

    18 × 10 = 180

    Now using this constant for the new value:

    M × 9 = 180

    M = 1809\frac{180}{9}​ = 20
