    • Question

      If the third proportion of 16 and 20 is “0.5k”, then

      find the value of (k − 20) : (k + 10).
      A 1:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Third proportion of two numbers ‘a’ and ‘b’ is (b 2 /a).
      So, 0.5k = (20 2 /16) = 25
      Or, 'k' = 50
      Required value = (50 - 20) : (50 + 10) = 30 : 60 = 1 : 2
