If a ∝ b and b ∝ c, then what is the relation between a and c ? (a) a ∝ c (b) a ∝ (1)/(c)

Question

If a ∝ b and b ∝ c, then what is the relation between a and c ?

(a) a ∝ c
(b) a ∝
`(1)/(c)`

Answer 1

a∝c

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a∝b and b∝c which means :

a varies linearly with b

b varies linearly with c

which implies a varies linearly with c.

hence a∝c.
