If the mean proportional between p and q is 12, then the possible values of p and q, respectively, are:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 24, 6
The mean proportional between p and q is 12.
So, √(pq) = 12
⇒ pq = 122 = 144
In option (3), 24 × 6 = 144
Therefore, the possible values of p and q are 24 and 6.
