Step-by-step explanation:
Take proportionals as a:ax::b:bx
Now three equations are given
a+bx=21 .....(i)
ax+b=19 .....(ii)
a2+(ax)2+b2+(bx)2=442
⇒(a2+b2)(1+x2)=442 .....(iii)
Add (i) and (ii), we get
(a+b)(1+x)=40 ......(iv)
Subtract (ii) from (i), we get
(a−b)(1−x)=2 ......(v)
Multiply (iv) and (v)
(a2−b2)(1−x2)=80 ......(vi)
Now add (iii) and (vi) and get equation
a2+(bx)2=261
Now both a2 and (bx)2 are perfect squares.
Now, we have to split 261 into two parts such that both are perfect squares and it can be done as 36+225.
So, a=6 and bx=15
Now subtract (vi) from (iii), we get
(ax)2+b2=181
Now ax and b are also perfect square so split 181 in two parts which is 81+100.
So, ax=9 and b=10
So, the proportionals are 6,9,10,15.
