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