De Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to square root of kinetic energy but according to Planck's quantum theory ,wavelength is inversely proportional to energy. How is that ?

Because U R confused with the total energy and the energy associated by the moving particle.
From planck's theory E is inversely proprtional to the wavelength,
and also the energy which is inversely proportional to square root is the kinetic energy not total energy.
As E = hv0 + K.E.
