When the relation between two values of an object is such that an increase or decrease in one’s value affects the other, this is known as variation. It is of two types:
- Direct Variation
- Inverse Variation
Direct variation implies when one amount changes, the other amount likewise changes to a direct extent. When there is an increase in quantity A, quantity B also increases and vice versa. However, the ratio remains the same. You have to follow the tabular or unitary method to solve direct variation problems.
But in inverse variation, the reverse happens. When there is an increase in quantity A, quantity B decreases and vice versa.
