    Question

    If x varies inversely as y and x = 2 when y = 6, then

    the value of y when x = 3 is:
    A 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Since x varies inversely as y, x × y = k (a constant). Given x = 2 and y = 6, we find the constant: 2 × 6 = 12  ⟹   k = 12 When x = 3: 3 × y = 12   ⟹  y = 12/3 = 4 The value of y when x= 3 is 4.
