Which least number must be subtracted from each of the term 15, 37, 21, 55 to make them proportional ? |
4 7 3 5 |
4 |
To make these numbers in proportion, the condition should be: (15 - a) : (37 - a) :: (21 - a) : (55 - a) Check from the option, which is the best way to find the number. So, Option (a):- 4 will justify the equation. (15 - 4) : (37 - 4) :: (21 - 4) : (55 - 4) 11 : 33 :: 17 : 51 1 : 3 :: 1 : 3 Therefore, 4 is correct answer. |
