Question

16, 24 & 54 are the first , second & fourth terms of a proportion respectively then the third term is​

Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

First , second and fourth term

To find :

third term

Assume third term be X

Solution

16:24:X:54

(16*54)=24x [the product of mean is product of extreme]

X=864÷24

X=36

therefore, the third term is 36

hope it helps u!! :)

Answer 2

Given that,

First term = 16 (a)

Second term = 24 (b)

Fourth term = 54 (d)

Third term = ? (let c)

We know,

The formula for proportion,

⇒ a:b = c:d (product of means = product of extremes) = ad = bc.

⇒ 16×54 = 24×c

⇒ c = 16×54/24

⇒ c = 36

Therefore, the third proportional between 16, 54 and 24 is 36
