A variable W varies partly as M and Partly inversely as P. Which of the following correctly represents the relation with k\(_1\) and k\(_2\) constants?
W = \(\frac{k_1M}{k_2P}\)
W = (\(k_1 + k_2\))\(\frac{\text{M}}{\text{P}}\)
W = k\(_1\)M +  \(\frac{k_2}{P}\)
W = (k\(_1 + k_2\))M + P

Explanation

W ∝ M  and W ∝ \(\frac{1}{P}\)

If a variable W varies partly as M and partly inversely as P, the relationship can be expressed as:

W = k\(_1\)M +  \(\frac{k_2}{P}\)
