Answer 1

Answer:

i) The variation equation     H =  k L

ii) The value of H = 20

iii) C)  H = k L

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that H varies directly as L

                    H ∝ L

                   H =  k L

Given that H =30 and L = 60

          ⇒   30 = k (60)

            $k = \frac{30}{60} = \frac{1}{2}$

Step(ii):-

Given that L = 40

The variation of the equation = H = k L ...(i)

 put L = 40 in equation (i)

 $H = \frac{1}{2} X 40 = 20$
