If x varies directly as square root of y and x = 81 when y = 9, Find x when y = 1(\frac{7}{9})

A
20\(\frac{1}{4}\)
B
27
C
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
D
36

Correct Option: D

x (\alpha\sqrt y)

x = k(\sqrt y)

81 = k(\sqrt9)

k = (\frac{81}{3})

= 27

therefore, x = 27(\sqrt y)

y = 1(\frac{7}{9}) = (\frac{16}{9})

x = 27 x (\sqrt{\frac{16}{9}})

= 27 x (\frac{4}{3})

dividing 27 by 3

= 9 x 4

= 36
