(i) As the number of workers on a job increases the time taken to complete the job decreases, hence it is an inverse proportion.

(ii) Distance and time are directly proportional to each other as time increases you could travel more distance compared to if you get less time to travel. Hence it is not an inverse proportion.

(iii) Both area of cultivated land and crop arvested are directly proportional, more the area cultivated more crop harvest. Hence it is not an inverse proportion.

(iv) With more speed if you are travelling lesser the time taken for a fixed journey to complete. Hence it is an inverse proportion.

(v) The population of a country if increases then there would be lesser area available per person, Hence it is an inverse proportion.
