    A 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 140 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    u ∝ v, which means, when 'u' increases then 'v' will also increase and when 'u' decreases then 'v' will also decrease. So, Let, u = k X v (where, 'k' is a proportionality constant) ATQ,
    96 = k X 32 So, k = (96/32) = 3 When 'v' = 50, then,
    u = 3 X 50 = 150
