Question 73

What is the ratio of the mean proportional between 24 and 150 and the third proportional between 12 and $$6\sqrt5$$ ?

Solution

mean proportional between 24 and 150.

mean proportion = $$\sqrt{\ 24\times\ 150}$$

= $$\sqrt{3600}$$

= 60    Eq.(i)

Third proportional between 12 and $$6\sqrt5$$.

Let's assume the third proportion is 'T'.

12 : $$6\sqrt5$$ :: $$6\sqrt5$$ : T

12T = $$6\sqrt5\times6\sqrt5$$

12T = 180

T = 15    Eq.(ii)

Ratio ==> Eq.(i) : Eq.(ii)

==> 60:15

==> 4:1
