P varies directly as Q and inversely as R. When Q = 36 and R = 16, P = 27. Find the relation between P, Q and R.
A
\(P = \frac{Q}{12R}\)
B
\(P = \frac{12Q}{R}\)
C
\(P = 12QR\)
D
\(P = \frac{12}{QR}\)

Correct Option: B
(P \propto \frac{Q}{R})
(P = K \frac{Q}{R})
When Q = 36, R = 16, P = 27
Then substitute into the equation
(27 = K \frac{36}{16})
(K = \frac{27 \times 16}{36})
(K = 12)
So the equation connecting P, Q and R is
(P = \frac{12Q}{R})
