Question

The fourth proportional to 4, 9, 12 is: ____________

A.

36

B.

27

C.

72

D.

48

Correct option is B

Given:

First number = 4

Second number = 9

Third number  = 12

Formula used:

To find the fourth proportional (d), we use the concept of proportion:

ab=cd\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} 

d=b×cad = \frac{b \times c}{a}  

Solution:

d=9×124d = \frac{9 \times 12}{4} 

d=1084d = \frac{108}{4} 

d = 27 

So, the fourth proportional to 4, 9, and 12 is 27

Thus, correct answer is (b ) 27
