Solution

Here from the given data, it is clear, the initial velocity of reaction is increases as the concentration of substrate increases. Hence the inhibition is competitive. In competitive inhibition, the inhibitors and substrate both binds to the active sites of enzymes. Hence, when concentration of substrates increases the chances of binding of substrate with enzymes increases in comparision to inhibitors Hence, here the inhibitor is competitive.
