Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
S1:If two quantities are directly proportional, their ratio is constant.S2:if two quantities are indirectly proportional, their product is constant.
A
S1:TRUES2:FALSE
B
S1:TRUES2:FALSE
C
S1 & S2 ARE TRUE
D
S1 & S2 ARE FALSE
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Direct proportion or direct variation is the relation between two quantities where the ratio of the two is equal to a constant value. It is represented by the proportional symbol, ∝.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two quantities x and y are said to vary in inverse proportion, if there exists a relation of the type xy = k between them, k being a constant. Q. Two quantities are inversely proportional if and only if their product always remain constant.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are also mentioned as directly proportional or inversely proportional. The symbol used to denote the proportionality is ‘∝’. For example, if we say, a is proportional to b, then it is represented as “a ∝ b” and if we say, a is inversely proportional to b, then it is denoted as ‘a∝1/b’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: In a direct proportion the ratio between matching quantities remain the same if they we divide them. On the other hand, in an inverse or indirect proportion as one-quantity increases, the other automatically decreases.
