The ratio of molecular weight of hydrogen and oxygen in water is 1 : 8. (The relation between hydrogen and oxygen in linear equations in two variables is). If the quantities of hydrogen and oxygen are ‘x’ and ‘y’
A) y = 8x
B) x + y = 8
C) xy = 8
D) x = 8y

Correct option is (A) y = 8x
\(\because\) Quantities of hydrogen and oxygen are x and y and their quantity are in ratio 1 : 8.
\(\therefore\) x : y = 1 : 8
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac xy=\frac18\)
\(\Rightarrow\) y = 8x
Here, linear equation which describes the situation is y = 8x.
