Answer:
a) <em>"K" is proportional Constant K= 0.0833</em>
<em>b) The value of b = 99.639</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Explanation</em></u> :-
Given 'a' is directly proportional to 'b'
a ∝ b
<em> a = k b ....(i)</em>
<em>where "K" is proportional Constant</em>
<u><em>Case(i)</em></u><em>:-</em>
<em>when a =6 and b=72</em>
<em> a = k b </em>
<em> ⇒ 6 = k (72)</em>
<em> ⇒ </em><em> </em>
<u><em>Case(ii)</em></u><em>:- </em>
<em> Given a = 8.3 </em>
<em> a = k b </em>
<em>⇒ 8.3 = 0.0833 ×b</em>
<em>⇒ </em><em></em>
<u><em>Final answer</em></u><em>:-</em>
a)<em>"K" is proportional Constant K= 0.0833</em>
<em>b) The value of b = 99.639</em>
