Question

Find the numbers whose mean proportion is 24 and the third proportion is 192

Answer 1

Two no is given is 24 and 192.

a=24,b=192

y=Toatal factor of 24 and 192

y2=2*2*2*3*2*2*2*2*2*2*3

y=2*2*2*2*3

y=48

x/a=a/y

x*y=24*24

x=24*24/48

x=12

or

24=v192*x

(24)^2=192x

x=576/192

x=3 ans
