Inverse and Direct Variation Problems

The video tutorial covers the concepts of direct and inverse variations, explaining how they apply to various scenarios. Direct variation occurs when two quantities increase or decrease together, while inverse variation happens when one quantity increases as the other decreases. The tutorial provides examples and shortcuts for solving problems related to both types of variations, emphasizing their importance in competitive exams and school-level studies.

Which of the following best describes direct variation?

• One quantity remains constant while the other changes

• Both quantities remain constant

• One quantity increases while the other decreases

• Both quantities increase or decrease together

In a direct variation, if the number of items increases, what happens to the cost?

• The cost decreases

• The cost remains the same

• The cost fluctuates

• The cost increases

Which scenario is an example of inverse variation?

• More time spent studying increases knowledge

• More items purchased increases the total cost

• More workers result in less time to complete a task

• More distance traveled requires more fare

In inverse variation, what happens when speed increases?

• Time required increases

• Distance covered remains the same

• Time required decreases

• Distance covered decreases

Which of the following best describes inverse variation?

• One quantity increases while the other decreases

• Both quantities remain constant

• Both quantities increase or decrease together

• One quantity remains constant while the other changes

What is the first step in solving a direct variation problem?

• Find the average of the quantities

• Identify if the problem is of direct or inverse variation

• Calculate the total cost

• Determine the constant of variation

In a typing test example, if time decreases, what happens to the number of words typed?

• Number of words typed fluctuates

• Number of words typed remains the same

• Number of words typed decreases

• Number of words typed increases

How do you solve a direct variation problem using a shortcut?

• By adding the known variables

• By dividing the known variables

• By subtracting the known variables

• By cross-multiplying the known variables
