If w varies inversely as \(\frac{uv}{u + v}\) and is equal to 8 when

u = 2 and v = 6, find a relationship between u, v, w.

  • A. uvw = 16(u + v)
  • B. 16ur = 3w(u + v)
  • C. uvw = 12(u + v)
  • D. 12uvw = u + v

Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

W \(\alpha\) \(\frac{\frac{1}{uv}}{u + v}\)

∴ w = \(\frac{\frac{k}{uv}}{u + v}\)

= \(\frac{k(u + v)}{uv}\)

w = \(\frac{k(u + v)}{uv}\)

w = 8, u = 2 and v = 6

8 = \(\frac{k(2 + 6)}{2(6)}\)

= \(\frac{k(8)}{12}\)

k = 12

i.e 12 ( u + v) = uwv
