The value of the constant in the equation below is:

B. 60

It is given in the graph that:

Height=(Constant)/(Width)

i.e. we may also say that:

Constant=Height* Width

We observe that the graph passes through (2,30) , (5,12) , (10,6) , (30,2)

So, by using any one point we may get the value of constant( since it is a fixed quantity)

Hence, using the point (2,30)

i.e. Width=2 and Height=30 we get:

$Constant=2* 30\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\Constant=60$

Hence, the value of constant is:

60
