    Question

    What is the fourth proportional of 3√5, 5√8 and 3 √10?

    A.

    10√5

    B.

    40 √2

    C.

    30

    D.

    20

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    The given numbers are  35,58,and310.3\sqrt{5}, 5\sqrt{8}, and 3\sqrt{10}.​​

    Formula Used:

    The fourth proportional x  can be found using the formula for fourth proportional:

    ab=cx\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{x}​​

    Solution:

    3558=310xx=310×5835x=5×10×85 x=5×805 x=5×805 x=5×16 x=5×4\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{5\sqrt{8}} = \frac{3\sqrt{10}}{x}\\x = \frac{3\sqrt{10} \times 5\sqrt{8}}{3\sqrt{5}}\\x = \frac{5 \times \sqrt{10} \times \sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{5}}\\\ \\x = \frac{5 \times \sqrt{80}}{\sqrt{5}}\\\ \\x = 5 \times \frac{\sqrt{80}}{\sqrt{5}}\\\ \\x = 5 \times \sqrt{16}\\\ \\x = 5 \times 4​​

    Therefore, x = 20
