As x is inverse proportion to y
x ∝ 1/y
Let take k as constant. so
x = k×1/y
x = k/y --> assume 1st eqn
k=x×y
According to first condition when x=3 then y=4
So putting value in above equation we get value of k
k=12
According to 2nd condition value of y=6
Now put value of K and Y in 1st equn
x=12/6
x=2

Given
x = 3,

y = 4.

Now,

xy = 3 × 4 = 12

If y = 6,

then

⇒ xy = xy

⇒ 12 = 6x

⇒ x = 12 ÷ 6

⇒ x = 2
