  • This method is helpful when the given quantity and the required quantity are connected by a fixed relationship.

2. Direct Variation

  • In direct variation, both quantities increase together or decrease together.
  • Examples include money and articles, cloth and cost, and earnings and days.
  • For direct variation, when one quantity becomes more, the other also becomes more.

3. Inverse Variation
