1)  

 Show that 3 : 2, 12 : 8are in proportion.

Answer: 3:2 , 12:8 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

3 : 2 and 12 : 8

The product of the  means = 2 x 12  =  24

The product of the extreams     = 3 x 8   =  24

 Therefore   3 : 2 , 12 : 8 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  3:2 :: 12:8



2)  

 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



3)  

 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



4)  

 Show that 6 : 7, 24 : 28are in proportion.

Answer: 6:7 , 24:28 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

6 : 7 and 24 : 28

The product of the  means = 7 x 24  =  168

The product of the extreams     = 6 x 28   =  168

 Therefore   6 : 7 , 24 : 28 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  6:7 :: 24:28



5)  

 Show that 6 : 4, 24 : 16are in proportion.

Answer: 6:4 , 24:16 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

6 : 4 and 24 : 16

The product of the  means = 4 x 24  =  96

The product of the extreams     = 6 x 16   =  96

 Therefore   6 : 4 , 24 : 16 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  6:4 :: 24:16



6)  

 Show that 8 : 9, 32 : 36are in proportion.

Answer: 8:9 , 32:36 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

8 : 9 and 32 : 36

The product of the  means = 9 x 32  =  288

The product of the extreams     = 8 x 36   =  288

 Therefore   8 : 9 , 32 : 36 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  8:9 :: 32:36



7)  

 Show that 2 : 7, 8 : 28are in proportion.

Answer: 2:7 , 8:28 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

2 : 7 and 8 : 28

The product of the  means = 7 x 8  =  56

The product of the extreams     = 2 x 28   =  56

 Therefore   2 : 7 , 8 : 28 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  2:7 :: 8:28



8)  

 Show that 8 : 7, 32 : 28are in proportion.

Answer: 8:7 , 32:28 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

8 : 7 and 32 : 28

The product of the  means = 7 x 32  =  224

The product of the extreams     = 8 x 28   =  224

 Therefore   8 : 7 , 32 : 28 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  8:7 :: 32:28



9)  

 Show that 3 : 10, 12 : 40are in proportion.

Answer: 3:10 , 12:40 are in proportion.


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

3 : 10 and 12 : 40

The product of the  means = 10 x 12  =  120

The product of the extreams     = 3 x 40   =  120

 Therefore   3 : 10 , 12 : 40 are in proportion  [The product of  extreams =The product of means]

(i.e.)  3:10 :: 12:40



10)  

 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
