The number of telephone calls N between two cities A and B varies directly as the population P\(_{A}\), P\(_B\) respectively and inversely as the square of the distance D between A and B. Which of the following equations represents this relation?

Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
\(N \propto P_{A}\); \(N \propto P_{B}\); \(N \propto \frac{1}{D^{2}}\)
\(\therefore N \propto \frac{P_{A} P_{B}}{D^{2}}\)
\(N = \frac{k P_{A} P_{B}}{D^{2}}\)
\(N \propto P_{A}\); \(N \propto P_{B}\); \(N \propto \frac{1}{D^{2}}\)
\(\therefore N \propto \frac{P_{A} P_{B}}{D^{2}}\)
\(N = \frac{k P_{A} P_{B}}{D^{2}}\)
