उत्तर
There is a number in the box `square` such that `square`, 24, 9, 12 are in proportion. The number in the box is 18.
Explanation:
Let the number in box is x, then x, 24, 9 and 12 are in proportion.
∴ x : 24 :: 9 : 12
⇒ `x/24 = 9/12` ...[∵ If a, b, c and d are in proportion, then `a/b = c/d`]
⇒ x × 12 = 24 × 9 ...[By cross-multiplication]
⇒ `x = (24 xx 9)/12`
⇒ x = 2 × 9
∴ x = 18
The number in the box is 18.
