If 25 : x :: x : 36, and x > 0, then what is the value of x?
30
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 30.
25 : x :: x : 36
⇒ 25/x = x/36
⇒ x2 = 25 × 36
⇒ x = 5 × 6
⇒ x = 30
When x is subtracted from each of 24, 30, 36 and 46, the numbers so obtained in this order, are in proportion. What is the mean proportional between (2x + 3) and (3x + 2)?
