    Question

    X varies inversely as Y and Y varies inversely as Z. In a particular case, X = 116\frac{1}{16} and Z = 132\frac{1}{32}. What will be the value of X when Z = 3?

    D.

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    X varies inversely as Y: X ∝ 1Y\frac 1Y
    Y varies inversely as Z: Y ∝ 1Z\frac 1Z
    Therefore, X ∝ Z (X is directly proportional to Z)
    When X = 116\frac 1{16}​ and Z = 132\frac 1{32}​​
    Formula Used:
    If X ∝ Z, then X1Z1=X2Z2\frac{X_1}{Z_1} = \frac{X_2}{Z_2}​​
    Solution:
    116÷132=X3=>116×321=X3=>2=X3=>X=2×3=6\frac{1}{16} \div \frac{1}{32} = \frac{X}{3} \\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{16} \times \frac{32}{1} = \frac{X}{3} \\\Rightarrow 2 = \frac{X}{3} \\\Rightarrow X = 2 \times 3 = 6​​
