    • Question

      If the third proportion of 25 and 20 is “0.5k”, then

      find the value of (k − 8) : (k + 24).
      A 3:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 7:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Third proportion of two numbers ‘a’ and ‘b’ is (b²/a).
      So, 0.5k = (20²/25) = 16
      Or, 'k' = 32
      Required value = (32 - 8) : (32 + 24) = 24 : 56 = 3 : 7
