    Question

    Find the fourth proportional of 524, 310, 3155\sqrt{24}, \, 3\sqrt{10}, \, 3\sqrt{15} .

    A.

    4.5

    B.

    3

    C.

    3.5

    D.

    4

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    The three given numbers are 524, 310, 3155\sqrt{24}, \, 3\sqrt{10}, \, 3\sqrt{15}​​
    Formula Used:
    If a:b=c:d, then d=b×ca\text{If } a : b = c : d, \text{ then } d = \frac{b \times c}{a}​​
    Solution:
    Let the fourth proportional be x.
    524310=315xx=310×315524x=3×3×10×155×24x=9×1505×24x=9×565×26x=456106x=4510x=4.5\frac{5\sqrt{24}}{3\sqrt{10}} = \frac{3\sqrt{15}}{x} \\x = \frac{3\sqrt{10} \times 3\sqrt{15}}{5\sqrt{24}} \\x = \frac{3 \times 3 \times \sqrt{10} \times \sqrt{15}}{5 \times \sqrt{24}} \\x = \frac{9 \times \sqrt{150}}{5 \times \sqrt{24}} \\x = \frac{9 \times 5\sqrt{6}}{5 \times 2\sqrt{6}} \\x = \frac{45\sqrt{6}}{10\sqrt{6}} \\x = \frac{45}{10} \\x = 4.5​​
    Thus, the fourth proportional is 4.5.
