उत्तर
Let x be subtracted from each number so that 20-x, 29-x, 84-x and 129-x are in proportion.
`therefore (20 - "x")/(29 - "x") = (84 - "x")/(129 - "x")`
⇒ (20 - x)(129 - x) = (29 - x)(84 - x)
⇒ 2580- 129x - 20x + x2 = 2436 - 84x - 29x + x2
⇒ 2580 - 149x = 2436 - 113x
⇒ 36x = 144
⇒ x = 4
Hence, 4 is to be subtracted from 20, 29, 84 and 129 for them to be in proportion.
