If x : 6 :: 6 : y and x : y :: y : 6, then which of the options below gives the correct values of x and y in that order?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e 6 and 6.
x : 6 :: 6 : y → xy = 36
x : y :: y : 6 → 6x = y²
From y² = 6x and xy = 36 → y³ = 216 → y = 6 → x = 6
