Determine the ratio of P to n to check if ratio is constant or not.


\begin{gathered} (4.13)/(7)=0.59 \\ (4.72)/(8)=0.59 \\ (5.31)/(9)=0.59 \\ (5.90)/(10)=0.59 \end{gathered}

As the ratio is constant in each case it means P varies linerly with respect to n and they are directly proportional.

The equation can be determined as,


\begin{gathered} (P)/(n)=0.59 \\ P=0.59n \end{gathered}

Thus, option (a) is the correct solution.
