Answer:
To check that they are propoertionate or not
We will find the product of extreme and mean
6*63 = 198
9*19/5 = 34.2
So they are not equal and not propertionate.

Given:-
6 : 9 : 19/5 : 63
To show :-
That they are in proportion or not.
Solution:-
If four numbers let "a" ,"b","c" and "d" are in proportion.
then,the product of their extreme (a, d) is equal to the product of their mean (b, c)
Now , write them in simplest form:-
6 : 9 = 6/9 = 2 : 3
19/5 : 63 = 19/5 : 63/1 = 315 : 19
since, 6 : 9 ≠ 19/5 : 63
therefore, 6 : 9 : 19/5 : 63 are not in proportion.
Or,
→product of extremes = product of means
6 × 63 = 378
9 × 19/5 = 171/5
here, 378 ≠ 171/5
hence, they are not in proportion.
