a varies inversely with the square of b. When b is 6, a is 96. Find a when b is 12.

The volume of a solid figure varies with the square of its radius when its height is constant and with its height when its
radius is constant. The solid figure has a radius of 18 units, a height of 7 units and a volume of 1152 cubic units.
Instead, if its radius is 9 units and height is 21 units, what would be the volume of the figure?

with the square of its weight. If the loss in the value of the stone due to breakage is 9600, find the value of the original
stone.

more men joined, the provisions would be sufficient for 15 days at the rate of 1.8 kg per man per day. Find x.

The force of attraction between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between them. If the mass of each body is doubled and the distance between them is reduced
by one-third, the new force of attraction between the two bodies is how many times the original force of attraction?
