Question
$a , b , c$ are in continued proportion. If $a =3$ and $c =27$, then find b .

Answer

$a , b , c$ are in continued proportion. ...[Given]
$\therefore b ^2= ac$
$\therefore b^2=3 \times 27 \ldots[\because a=3$ and $c =27]$
$\therefore b ^2=81$
$\therefore b =9$...[Taking square root of both sides]
