Question
Find the mean proportional of (12 + 6√2) and (8 - 4√2).
A.
4√3
B.
3√2
C.
3√3
D.
4√2
Correct option is A
Given: Mean proportional of (12+62)and(8−42) Formula Used: Mean Proportional of a and b is given by a×b Solution: Substitute the values of a=(12+62)andb=(8−42) Mean Proportional=(12+62)×(8−42)Mean Proportional=12×8+12×(−42)+62×8+62×(−42)Mean Proportional=96−482+482−48Mean Proportional=48Mean Proportional=43
