Option 1 and option 4 are inversely proportional.

Inversely proportional means when one variable increases the other decreases in proportion.

Option 1 is true. When the number of tractors increases, the time to plow a farm decreases.

Option 4 is also true. If height is too large, base area should be too less to equalize the area.
