    • Question

      If the third proportion of 45 and 60 is “0.5k”, then

      find the value of (k − 20) : (k + 40).
      A 8:12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 7:10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Third proportion of two numbers ‘a’ and ‘b’ is (b²/a).
      So, 0.5k = (60²/45) = 80
      Or, 'k' = 160
      Required value = (160 - 20) : (160 + 40) = 140 : 200 = 7 : 10
