Question

5. (a) If x, 10, y, 40 are in continued proportion then find positive values of x and y​

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 5, y= 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x , 10, y ,20

for continuous Proportion

x*n =10 or n= 10/x

10*n= y or 10*10/x = 100/x = y

y*n = 40

put n , y values

100/x*10*x = 40

1000/x^2 = 40

or 1000/40 = x^2

25 = x^2

x = 5

and

x*n = 10

5*n = 10

n = 2

so

5, 5*2, 10*2 , 20*2

5, 10, 20 ,40

x= 5 y = 20
