Find the mean proportional of 36 and 100.   

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 60.

We know that,

The mean proportional between two numbers a and b

x = a×b\sqrt {a \times b}

⇒ x = 36×100\sqrt {36 \times 100}

⇒ x = 6×6×10×10\sqrt {6 \times 6 \times 10 \times 10}

⇒ x = 6 × 10

⇒ x = 60

Thus,

The mean proportion between 36 and 100 is 60
