Answer:

The Correct option is C ) 25

Therefore the value of x is 25 when y =40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Variable 'y' is directly proportional to the variable 'x'.

[tex]\therefore y=kx[/tex]     ......Direct Variation

Where,

k = Constant of proportionality

To Find:

value of x = ? when y = 40

Solution:

First we need to find Constant of proportionality

When x = 20 and y = 32

Substituting the values we get

[tex]32=k\times 20\\k=\dfrac{32}{20}=1.6\\\\k=1.6[/tex]

Now when k =1.6 , y = 40 then x will be

[tex]40=1.6\times x\\\\x=\dfrac{40}{1.6}=25\\\\x=25[/tex]

Therefore the value of x is 25 when y =40.
