    Question

    The mean proportional between 36 and a number N is three times the mean proportional between 8 and 32. The number N is:

    A.

    47

    B.

    58

    C.

    51

    D.

    64

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Mean proportional between 36 and N.
    Three times the mean proportional between 8 and 32.
    Formula Used:
    Mean proportional between A and B = A×B\sqrt {A\times B}
    Solution:
    Mean proportional between 8 and 32 = √(8 × 32) = √256 = 16.
    Three times the mean proportional = 3 × 16 = 48.
    Mean proportional between 36 and N = 48.
    √(36 × N) = 48
    36 × N = 482
    36 × N = 2304
    N = 2304 ÷ 36
    N = 64
