Given that p varies as the square of q and q varies inversely as the square root of r. How does p vary with r?

A
p varies as the square of r
B
p varies as the square root of r
C
p varies inversely as the square of r
D
p varies inversely as r
correct option: d

\(p \propto q^2\)

\(q \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{r}\)

\(p = kq^2\)

\(q = \frac{c}{\sqrt{r}}\)

where c and k are constants.

\(q^2 = \frac{c^2}{r}\)

\(p = \frac{kc^2}{r}\)

If k and c are constants, then kc\(^2\) is also a constant, say z.

\(p = \frac{z}{r}\)

p varies inversely as r.
