Let x be the number added,
Therefore,
(10+X) / (18+X) = (22+X) / (38+X)⇒380 + 48x + x² = 396 + 40x + x²⇒8x = 16⇒x = 2
Therefore, the number added, x = 2
Therefore,
(10+X) / (18+X) = (22+X) / (38+X)⇒380 + 48x + x² = 396 + 40x + x²⇒8x = 16⇒x = 2
Therefore, the number added, x = 2

What number should be added to each one of 6, 14, 18, 38 to make it equality proportionate?
6, 14, 18, 38
If a, b, c, d are in proportion
⇒ a : b :: c : d
then ad = bc
Let x is added in the sequence numbers as to make it in proportion
(6 + x) : (14 + x) :: (18 + x) : (38 + x)
(6 + x) (38 + x) = (18 + x) (14 + x)
Now to save valuable time put value of x from options to make it proportion
(6+x) (38+x) = (14+x) (18+x)
⇒ x² + 44x + 228 = x² + 32x + 252
12x ⇒ 252 - 228
12x ⇒ 24
