Which least number must be subtracted from each of the term 14, 36, 20, 54 to make them proportional? |
3 2 4 5 |
3 |
To make these numbers in proportion, the condition should be: (14 - a) : (36 - a) :: (20 - a) : (54 - a) Check from the option, which is the best way to find the number. So, Option (a):- 3 will justify the equation. (14 - 3) : (36 - 3) :: (20 - 3) : (54 - 3) 11 : 33 :: 17 : 51 1 : 3 :: 1 : 3 Therefore, 3 is correct answer. |
