_____proporation ,the product of first two terms should be equal to the product of next two terms.

answer ⤵️

(i) The numbers a, b, c and d are in proportional if the ratio of the first two quantities is equal to the ratio of the last two quantities, i.e., a : b : : c : d and is read as ‘a is to b is as c is to d’. The symbol ‘ : : ‘ stands for ‘is as’.

(ii) Each quantity in a proportion is called its term or its proportional.

(iii) In a proportion; the first and the last terms are called the extremes; whereas the second and the third terms are called the means.

If four numbers a, b, c and d are in proportional (i.e., a : b : : c : d), then a and d are known as extreme terms and b and c are called middle terms.

(v) The fourth term of a proportion is called fourth proportional.
