Answer it answer it answer it.

Option C. P = 3/q

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, do the following:

Let us assume a certain number for P say 2 and 3, and then, find the corresponding value for q in each case to see which will give a decreased value for q.

Option A

When P = 2, q =.?

P = 3q

2 = 3q

Divide both side by 3

q = 2/3

When P = 3, q =.?

P = 3q

3 = 3q

Divide both side 3

q = 3/3

q = 1

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Option B

When P = 2, q =.?

P – 3 = q

2 – 3 = q

q = – 1

When P = 3, q =.?

P – 3 = q

3 – 3 = q

q = 0

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Option C

When P = 2, q =.?

P = 3/q

2 = 3/q

Cross multiply

2 × q = 3

Divide both side by 2

q = 3/2

q = 1.5

When P = 3, q =.?

P = 3/q

3 = 3/q

Cross multiply

3 × q = 3

Divide both side by 3

q = 3/3

q = 1

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q decreases.

Option D.

When P = 2, q =.?

1/p = 3/q

1/2 = 3/q

Cross multiply

1 × q = 2 × 3

q = 6

When P = 3, q =.?

1/p = 3/q

1/3 = 3/q

Cross multiply

1 × q = 3 × 3

q = 9

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Now, haven done the above, only option C gives a decreased value for q as the value of P increases.
