Answer:_______________




 

1)  

 Show that 3 : 6, 12 : 24are in proportion.

Answer: 3:6 , 12:24 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

3 : 6 and 12 : 24

The product of the  means = 6 x 12  =  72

The product of the extreams     = 3 x 24   =  72

 Therefore   3 : 6 , 12 : 24 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  3:6 :: 12:24



2)  

 Show that 7 : 5, 28 : 20are in proportion.

Answer: 7:5 , 28:20 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

7 : 5 and 28 : 20

The product of the  means = 5 x 28  =  140

The product of the extreams     = 7 x 20   =  140

 Therefore   7 : 5 , 28 : 20 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  7:5 :: 28:20



3)  

 Show that 3 : 9, 12 : 36are in proportion.

Answer: 3:9 , 12:36 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

3 : 9 and 12 : 36

The product of the  means = 9 x 12  =  108

The product of the extreams     = 3 x 36   =  108

 Therefore   3 : 9 , 12 : 36 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  3:9 :: 12:36



4)  

 Show that 8 : 8, 32 : 32are in proportion.

Answer: 8:8 , 32:32 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

8 : 8 and 32 : 32

The product of the  means = 8 x 32  =  256

The product of the extreams     = 8 x 32   =  256

 Therefore   8 : 8 , 32 : 32 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  8:8 :: 32:32



5)  

 Show that 7 : 4, 28 : 16are in proportion.

Answer: 7:4 , 28:16 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

7 : 4 and 28 : 16

The product of the  means = 4 x 28  =  112

The product of the extreams     = 7 x 16   =  112

 Therefore   7 : 4 , 28 : 16 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  7:4 :: 28:16



6)  

 Show that 6 : 2, 24 : 8are in proportion.

Answer: 6:2 , 24:8 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

6 : 2 and 24 : 8

The product of the  means = 2 x 24  =  48

The product of the extreams     = 6 x 8   =  48

 Therefore   6 : 2 , 24 : 8 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  6:2 :: 24:8



7)  

 Show that 5 : 4, 20 : 16are in proportion.

Answer: 5:4 , 20:16 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

5 : 4 and 20 : 16

The product of the  means = 4 x 20  =  80

The product of the extreams     = 5 x 16   =  80

 Therefore   5 : 4 , 20 : 16 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  5:4 :: 20:16



8)  

 Show that 3 : 8, 12 : 32are in proportion.

Answer: 3:8 , 12:32 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

3 : 8 and 12 : 32

The product of the  means = 8 x 12  =  96

The product of the extreams     = 3 x 32   =  96

 Therefore   3 : 8 , 12 : 32 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  3:8 :: 12:32



9)  

 Show that 2 : 8, 8 : 32are in proportion.

Answer: 2:8 , 8:32 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

2 : 8 and 8 : 32

The product of the  means = 8 x 8  =  64

The product of the extreams     = 2 x 32   =  64

 Therefore   2 : 8 , 8 : 32 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  2:8 :: 8:32



10)  

 Show that 8 : 4, 32 : 16are in proportion.

Answer: 8:4 , 32:16 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

8 : 4 and 32 : 16

The product of the  means = 4 x 32  =  128

The product of the extreams     = 8 x 16   =  128

 Therefore   8 : 4 , 32 : 16 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  8:4 :: 32:16
