y varies inversely as x means y=k(1/x) where k is a constant
so 27=k(1/4), so k=108.
now y=k/x=108/12=9 , y=9---------answer (1)
if y varies directly asx means y=k(x) , k is a constant
27=4 k, k=27/4
so y=(12)27/4=81, y=81 ----------------answer (2)
so 27=k(1/4), so k=108.
now y=k/x=108/12=9 , y=9---------answer (1)
