    B 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    'k' = 12 k - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 2k - 4 = 2 × 12 - 4 = 20 3k - 6 = 3 × 12 - 6 = 30 Let the fourth proportion be 'm'. 10 : 20 :: 30 : m So, 10 × m = 20 × 30 Or, 'm' = 60
