What will be the ratio of the mean proportional of 5.4 and 0.6 to the third proportional of 12 and 4.8?
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.
