Question

What is the missing term ?
16 : 18 :: x : 96
Need with steps​

Answer 1

Answer:

16:18::x:96

a:b::c:d

then a×c=b×d

so, 16×X=18×96

so,16X=1728

X=1728/16

X=108

So x=108

Answer 2

(i) Given 16: 18 = x: 96

In proportion we know that product of extremes = product of means

16/18 = x/96

On cross multiplying

x = (18 × 96)/ 16 x

= 256/3

Hope it helps.
