Question

The first second and fourth terms of the proportion are 12 24 and82.Find the third n​umber

Answer 1

Hey friend,

Here is the solution :-

Here, First number = 12

Second number = 24

Third number = x

Fourth number = 82

So, 12 : 24 :: x : 82

$\frac{12}{24} = \frac{x}{82} \\ \\ now \: by \: cross \: multiplication \\ \\ x \times 24 = 82 \times 24 \\ \\ 24x = 984 \\ \\ x = \frac{984}{24} = 41 \\ \\ here \: we \: get \: x \: = 41$

So, the third number is 41.
