    Question

    X is directly proportional to A² and A is inversely proportional to Y. If X is 97 when Y is 6, find X when Y is 2.

    A.

    873

    B.

    871

    C.

    872

    D.

    875

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    X A2\propto A^2​​

    A 1Y\propto \dfrac{1}{Y}

    when Y = 6, X = 97; find X when Y = 2

    Formula Used:

    Since A 1Y \propto \dfrac{1}{Y}​, A=kY = \dfrac{k}{Y}​ 

    XA2 X=KY2X \propto A^2 \implies X = \dfrac{K}{Y^2}​​

    Therefore, X Y2=constant^2 = \text{constant}​​

    Solution:
    At Y = 6: K=XY2=97×62=97×36=3492 = X Y^2 = 97 \times 6^2 = 97 \times 36 = 3492​​
    At Y = 2: X=KY2=349222=34924=873 = \dfrac{K}{Y^2} = \dfrac{3492}{2^2} = \dfrac{3492}{4} = 873​​
