    Let us write the inverse variation in the given in an equation form,

    a = k / b

    where k is the constant of proportion.

    If the value of b is double, there should be a corresponding change in a.

    (x) (a) = k / 2b

    (x) (a) = (1/2) (k/b)

    The value of x is 1/2. Therefore, the value of a is halved.
