Mean proportional between a and b = √(ab)
Solution:
25×N=2×15×3525N=2×52525N=2×52125N=102125N=100×2125N=2100N=84\sqrt{25 \times N} = 2 \times \sqrt{15 \times 35} \\\sqrt{25N} = 2 \times \sqrt{525}\\\sqrt{25N} = 2 \times 5\sqrt{21}\\\sqrt{25N} = 10\sqrt{21}\\25N = 100 \times 21\\25N = 2100\\N = 84​​
