    Question

    If the third proportion of 36 and 54 is “0.5k”, then

    find the value of (k − 28) : (k + 20).
    A 67:91 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7:10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Third proportion of two numbers ‘a’ and ‘b’ is (b²/a).
    So, 0.5k = (54²/36) = 81
    Or, 'k' = 162
    Required value = (162 - 28) : (162 + 20) = 134 : 182 = 67 : 91
