Answer:

True

Explanation:

Let's call

x: number of oranges

y: price

The relationship between x and y is proportional if they fulfill the following condition.

y / x = k

where,

k is a proportionality constant

Then,

6 / 4 = 15 / 10 = 1.5

Since x and y fulfill the condition, they have a relationship of proportionality.
