24:126::48:? Answer of this question with solution

Answer 1

Hi ,

This problem related to proportion.

Difinition:

The equality of two ratios is called proportion.

In a proportion , the first and fourth terms are known as

Extremes , while second and third terms are known as

Means.

If a : b = c : d , we write a : b : : c : d and we say that

a , b , c , d are in proportion.

We have ,

**********************************************************************

Product of extrems = product of means

ad = bc

***********************************************************************

According to our problem,

24 : 126 : : 48 : x

Product of extrems = product of means

24 × x = 126 × 48

x = ( 126 × 48 ) / 24

x = 252

Required number = x = 252

I hope this will useful to you.
