SSC CGL 10 June 2019 Shift-1 Question 71

Question 71

What is the ratio of the mean proportional between 4.8 and 10.8 and the third proportional to 0.4 and 2.4?

Solution

Mean proportional of 4.8 and 10.8 is -

$$x=\sqrt{(}4.8\times10.8)$$

$$x=\sqrt{(}51.84)$$

x = 7.2

Third proportional of 0.4 and 2.4 is -y

$$\frac{0.4}{2.4}=\frac{2.4}{y}$$

$$0.4y=2.4^2$$

$$y=\frac{5.76}{0.4}=14.4$$

Required ratio = $$x:y=7.2:14.4=1:2$$
