Learning Objective of this Topic
At the end of the chapter, you should be
able to:
• Explain the concept of direct proportion
using tables, equations, and graphs,
• Explain the concept of inverse proportion
using tables, equations, and graphs,
• Solve problems involving direct and
inverse proportions.
 What is VARIATION?
Variation can be clear and
understandable when one first
understands what are variables.
Therefore, it is also important to
know how they differ from
constants. When the value of a
quantity does not change under
different conditions, it is constant.
On the contrary, when the value of
a quantity changes under varying
conditions, it is a variable.
 What is VARIATION?
There are two types of variations:
• If two quantities are in direct
proportion, as one value increases,
the other will increase by the same
percentage

• With inverse proportion , one value

increases as the other decreases
 Direct Proportion
• If two quantities are related in such a way
that the increase in one quantity results in
a corresponding increase in the other and
vice versa, then such a variation is called
a direct variation.
• If the two quantities are in direct variation
then we also say that they are proportional
to each other.
Some situations of direct variation:
● More articles, more money required to purchase
 Less articles, less money required to purchase.
● More men at work, more work is done..
 Less men at work, less work is done.
● More money borrowed, more interest is to be paid.
Less money borrowed, less interest to be paid.
● More speed, more distance covered in fixed time.                
Less speed, less distance covered in fixed time.
● More working hours, more work will be done.
Less working hours, less work will be done.

Practice Questions
   previous example we deduced that
•From

Where 15 is constant. So a constant can be

written as k, then equation becomes

It shows that y is directly proportional to x or

mathematically you may write
(i)
• Since, y is directly proportional
  to x. then (iii) When y = 21,
21 = 3x
So when x=4, y=12,
12 = k x 4 21/3 = x
K= x= 7 Answer
Therefore, Answer

(ii) When x=8,

y= 3 x 8 = 24 Answer
