Answer:

constant of variation is 10.

Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that y varies directly as x. Thus, we have

y = kx.............(1)

k is the constant of variation

Now, it has been given that when y is 12 then x is 1.2.

Hence, substituting x = 1.2 and y = 12 in equation (1)

12 = 1.2 k

Divide both sides by 1.2

k = 12/1.2

k = 10

Therefore, constant of variation is 10.

Second option is correct.
