A varies directly as the positive square root of B, and inversely as the cube of C. If A = 15, when B = 27 and C = 2, then find B when A = 9 and C = 2.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 243/25.
Given:
A = 15 when B = 27 and C = 2
Also A = and A =
Where k1 and k2 are proportionality constants.
Explanation:
From the given question,
⇒ 15 =
⇒ k1 =
⇒ k1 =
Now, when A = 9
Then 9 = ×
⇒ =
Squaring both sides we get
B = 243/25
Hence the value of B = 243/25
