Answer

Correct Answer : b ) 15 : 16

Explanation :

We know that

Mean proportional of two numbers a and b is given as

Thus, mean proportional of 5.4 and 0.6 is

\( \sqrt{5.4*0.6}=\sqrt{3.24}=1.8\)

And, the third proportional of 12 and 4.8 is

\({4.8*4.8 \over 12}=1.92\)

Therefore,

Required ratio = 1.8 : 1.92 = 15 : 16

Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
