Answer:
5 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the third proportional be x.
=> 12:30::30:x
In Proportion,
Product of extreme terms = Product of mean terms
=> 12 × x = 30×30
=> x = 900/12
=> x = 75
Therefore, the third proportional to 12 and 20 is 75.
Let the mean proportional be y.
=> 9:y::y:25
In Proportion,
Product of mean terms = Product of extreme terms
=> y × y = 9×25
=> y² = 225
=> y = √225
=> y = 15
Therefore, the mean proportional between 9 and 25 is 15.
Ratio = 75 : 15 = 5 : 1
