The answer is  n ∝ 1/u
Reason/Explanation:- 
-Let us take an example of mass ,suppose if a body has a mass of 20 kg . (In this 20 is the numerical value and kg is the unit) So if we decrease the size of the unit , Say kg to g then the numerical value will be 20000. 
20 kg = 20000 g.
-If the size of the unit Kg will be increased from kg to Quintal then the numerical value will be 0.2 .
20 kg = 0.2 Quintal.
from this example we can say that if the unit is increasing then the numerical value  is decreasing & if the unit is decreasing then the numerical value of  is increasing.
∴ numerical value, n ∝ 1/u
