Question

O
A
u= 13
O
B. u=0.77
O
C. u=0.468
O
D. u= 4.68​

Answer 1

D) The value of u is 4.68 when v= 7.8 .

Explanation:

Two quantities P and Q are said to be in proportion if one quantity is always a multiple of the other quantity.

or, P ∝ Q ⇒ P = k Q for some arbitrary constant k.

Here, u varies directly with v

⇒ u = k v

Now, k = 0.6 and v = 7.8

So, u = k v

= (0.6) x (7.8) = 4.68

or, u = 4.68

Hence, the value of u when v= 7.8 is 4.68.
