Question

The mean proportional between 9 + 373\sqrt{7} and 18 – 676\sqrt{7} is:​

A.

6

B.

1

C.

13

D.

9

Correct option is A

Given:

We are to find the mean proportional between:

9+37and18679 + 3\sqrt{7} \quad \text{and} \quad 18 - 6\sqrt{7}​​

Formula Used:

The mean proportional between two numbers a and b is:

= ab\sqrt{a \cdot b}​​

Solution:  

Mean Proportional = (9+37)(1867)\sqrt{(9 + 3\sqrt{7})(18 - 6\sqrt{7})} 

=2(9+37)(937) =2{(9)2(37)2} =2{8163} =2{18} =2×3×3×2 =6=\sqrt{2(9 + 3\sqrt{7})(9 - 3\sqrt{7})} \\ \ \\ = \sqrt{2\{(9)^2 - (3\sqrt{7})^2\}}\\ \ \\ = \sqrt{2\{81 - 63\}}\\ \ \\ = \sqrt{2\{18\}} \\ \ \\ = \sqrt{2\times 3\times 3\times 2} \\ \ \\ = 6​​
