Given that, m ∝ n
∴ m = kn …(i)
where k is constant of variation.
When m = 154, n = 7
∴ Substituting m = 154 and n = 7 in (i), we get
m = kn
∴ 154 = k × 7
∴ k = 154/7
∴ k = 22
Substituting k = 22 in (i), we get
m = kn
∴ m = 22n …(ii)
This is the equation of variation.
When n = 14, m = ?
∴ Substituting n = 14 in (ii), we get
m = 22n
∴ m = 22 × 14
∴ m = 308
