Given is = x and y vary inversely ;  this means when x increases y decreases and when y increases x decreases but the product remains unchanged.

It can be written as = [tex]x=\frac{1}{y}[/tex]

Now, the given values are :                            

x = 2 and y = 7

So, the correct answer is option B.

[tex]y=\frac{14}{x}[/tex] or x*y=14

Hence, option B is correct.
