​The mean proportional between he number p and q is 8. Which of the following pairs of numbers can be the value of p and q?​

Correct option is B

Given:

The mean proportion between the numbers p and q between the numbers p and q is 8 

Formula Used:

Mean Proportional = $$\sqrt pq$$ 

Solution:

Mean Proportional = 8 

pq = 64 

We need to find which pair of numbers satisfies this equation 

Option(a)

(12, 3 ) = $$12\times 3 = 36$$ 

Option(b)

(16,4) = $$16\times 4 = 64$$ 

option (c) 

(12, 16)

​$$12\times 16 = 192$$ 

Option (d)

(10,6) = $$10\times 6 = 60$$ 

Hence option (b) is correct
