उत्तर
Let x be added to 5, 11, 19 and 37 to make them in proportion.
5 + x : 11 + x : : 19 + x : 37 + x
⇒ (5 + x) (37 + x) = (11 + x) (19 + x)
⇒ 185 + 5x + 37x + x2 = 209 + 11x + 19x + x2
⇒ 185 + 42x + x2 = 209 + 30x + x2
⇒ 42x - 30x + x2 - x2 = 209 - 185
⇒ 12x = 24
⇒ x = 2
∴ Least number to be added = 2.
