PROPORTION AND VARIATION SAT CLASS - 4

Proportion and inverse proportion


1. We say that x is proportional to y if there is same change in both variables. i.e., if x increases
then y also increases or x decreases then y also decreases. We write it as x ∝ y .

x 1 x2
x ∝ y ⇔ x=ky for some constant k. Here =
y1 y2

2. We say that x is inversely proportional to y if there is opposite change in variables. i.e., if x

increases then y decreases or x decreases then y increases. We write it as x ∝ .
y

x∝ ⇔ xy =k For some constantk . Here x 1 y 1=x 2 y 2
