Detailed explanation-1: -If the increase in one quantity, leads to a decrease in other, then the quantities are in inverse proportion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The inverse question is the opposite of the direct proportion. Two quantities are said to be inversely proportional to each other if the increase in one quantity means a decrease in the other quantity.
Detailed explanation-3: -In direct proportion, if one quantity is increased or decreased then the other quantity increases or decreases, respectively. But in indirect or inverse proportion, if one quantity increases then other quantity decreases and vice-versa.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: In direct proportion when one quantity increases, the other quantity increases at the same rate and vice versa. In Inverse proportion when one quantity increases, the other quantity decreases viceversa.
Detailed explanation-5: -Two variables x and y are said to be in direct proportion when y ∝ x (or x ∝ y). This implies, y = kx, for a constant k. While two variables x and y are said to be in inverse proportion if y ∝ 1/x (or x ∝ 1/y). This implies y = k/x, for a constant k.
