Answer:

Option C. 32/3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form p*x=k or p=k/x

we know that

For p=14, x=16

Find the value of k

k=p*x

substitute the values

k=(14)*(16)=224

so

The equation is equal to

p=\frac{224}{x}

Find the value of p when x=21

substitute the value of x in the equation

p=\frac{224}{21}    

simplify

Divide by 7 both numerator and denominator

p=\frac{32}{3}
