Problem

Find the third proportion to 10 , 5.

Step

Let us take the third proportion is

\$x\$

Step

We can write the above numbers in the proportional form
(a : b :: b : c)

\$10 : 5::5 : x\$

Hint

\$a/b::b/c\$

Step

Here a = 10 , b = 5 , c = x

Step

Let us find the x value

x = \$ (5 \times 5)/10\$

x = \$2.5\$

SumUp

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

Choice.A

This is the correct third proportion because it satisfies the proportion

\$2.5\$

Choice.B

This is incorrect because it doesn’t satisfy the proportionality

\$1.5\$

Choice.C

This is incorrect because it is equal to the second term (b), not the third proportion

Choice.D

This is incorrect because it is equal to the first term (a), not the third proportion
