    Question

    If the third proportion of 32 and 48 is β€œ0.5k”, then

    find the value of (k βˆ’ 44) : (k + 16).
    A 6:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Third proportion of two numbers β€˜a’ and β€˜b’ is (bΒ²/a).
    So, 0.5k = (48Β²/32) = 72
    Or, 'k' = 144
    Required value = (144 - 44) : (144 + 16) = 100 : 160 = 5 : 8
