217 : 112 :: x : 32
217/112 = x/32 (cross multiplication)
217×32 = 112×x
6944 = 112x
112x = 6944
x = 6944/112
x= 62
third no. is 62

Answer: The no's must be in the order of 32, 112, and 217
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write this as, (take 3rd term as x)
32:112::x:217
=> Product of 1st and 4th term= product of middle terms
=> 32*217= 112x
=> x= 32*217/112
=> x= 62..............
