Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
y \(\alpha\) \(\frac{1}{x^2}\)
y = \(\frac{k}{x^2}\)
k = x2y
= (2)2 x 10
= 40
y = \(\frac{40}{x^2}\)
= \(\frac{40}{(10)^2}\)
= \(\frac{40}{100}\)
= 0.4
y \(\alpha\) \(\frac{1}{x^2}\)
y = \(\frac{k}{x^2}\)
k = x2y
= (2)2 x 10
= 40
y = \(\frac{40}{x^2}\)
= \(\frac{40}{(10)^2}\)
= \(\frac{40}{100}\)
= 0.4
