$\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}}$

Given:

5/20 = a/4 = 3/a

To find:

Value of a in a/4 and 3/a= ?

Solution:

5/20 = a/4

1/4 = a/4

4/4 = a

a = 1

5/20 = 3/a

1/4 = 3/a

a = 3 × 4

a = 12

Cross check value of a:

5/20 = a/4

1/4 = a/4

Substituting value of a = 1

1/4 = 1/4

Thus, value of a = 1 is correct

5/20 = 3/a

1/4 = 3/a

Substituting value of a = 12

1/4 = 3/12

1/4 = 1/4

Thus value of a = 12 is correct
