Question

3
which no. should besubtracted from 12, 16 and al.so
the resultant numbers are in continued Proportion​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number x be subtracted from 12, 16 and 21 so that resultant numbers are in continued proportion. ∴ (12 − x), (16 − x), (21 − x) are in continued proportion. Thus, the number −4 must be subtracted from 12, 16 and 21 so that resultant numbers are in continued proportion.
