In a proportion, the 1st , 2nd and 4th terms are 51 , 68 and 108, respectively. What is the 3rd term ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
In the given proportion,
a : b :: c : d
d = \(\frac{b\; \times\; c}{a}\)
108 = \(\frac{68\; \times\; c}{51}\)
c = \(\frac{108\; \times\; 51}{68}\)
c = 81
