#16. 12, 16, * , 20 are in proportion. Then * is

12, 16, * , 20 are in proportion. Then * is

let assume * is =x

a=12 , b=16, c= x, d =20

a/b=c/d i.e ad=bc

12*20 = 16 * x

240 =16 * x

x = 16 / 240

x=15

 

#17. The mean proportional between 1.4 gms and 5.6 gms is

The mean proportional between 1.4 gms and 5.6 gms is

Mean proportional between = a and b

a=1.4 gms, b=5.6 gms

Mean proportional= √1.4 * 5.6

#18. If 2s : 3t is the duplicate ratio of 2s-3t : 3t - p then

#19. The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 7 : 8. If the second train runs 400 Kms. in 5 hours, the speed of the first train is

The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 7 : 8. If the second train runs 400 Km. in 5 hours, the speed of the first train is Speed = Distance/ Time

2nd train  speed = 400/5

= 80 km/hr

that mean 80 =8

80/8=10

=10*7

= 70 km/hr
