Find the fourth proportion to 2,3,6

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

2:3 :: 6:x

=> 2/3 = 6/x
=> x = 18/2
=> x = 9

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Treat 2:9 as 2/9 and x:18 as x/18, treat :: as =

So we get 2/9 = x/18
=> 9x = 36
=> x = 4

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
a:b = 2:3 \\
b:c = 5:8 = (5*\frac{3}{5} : 8*\frac{3}{5}) \\
= 3:\frac{24}{5} \\
a:b:c = 2:3:\frac{24}{5} \\
= 10:15:24 \\
b = 98*\frac{15}{49} \\
= 30
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2}:\frac{2}{3}:\frac{3}{4} \\
= 6:8:9\\
\text{First part =} 782 * \frac{6}{23} \\
= 204
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let C = x. Then A = (x—20) and B = (x—40).
x + x - 20 + x - 40 = 120 Or x=60.
A:B:C = 40:20:60 = 2:1 :3.
B's share = Rs. 120*(1/6) = Rs. 20
