Question

apoorvk · Answer

no. of trips is inversely proportional to the no. of books carried per trip. more books carried per trip, lesser the no. of trips he has to make. simple.

$$24divk=n$$, if 'k' is th eno. of books carried per trip, and n is the the no. of trips to be made.

 so n\[\alpha]1/k
