Question
Determine if the $33, 121, 9, 96$ are in proportion.

Answer

$33 : 121$ $=\frac{33}{121}=\frac{33 \div 11}{121 \div 11}$[$\therefore$$H.C.F.(33, 121) = 11]$
$=\frac{3}{11}$$ = 3 : 11$
$9 : 96$ $=\frac{9}{96}=\frac{9 \div 3}{96 \div 3}$[$\therefore$$H.C.F.(9, 96) = 3]$
$=\frac{3}{32}$ $= 3 : 32$
$\because $ $3 : 11$ $\neq$ $3 : 32$
$\therefore$ $33, 121, 9, 96$ are not in proportion.
