Question
Show that $48, 60, 75$ are in continued proportion.
✓
Answer
Consider $48 : 60 : : 60 : 75$
Product of means $= 60 \times 60 = 3600$
Product of extremes $= 48 \times 75 = 3600$
So product of means = Product of extremes
Hence, $48, 60, 75$ are in continued proportion.
Product of means $= 60 \times 60 = 3600$
Product of extremes $= 48 \times 75 = 3600$
So product of means = Product of extremes
Hence, $48, 60, 75$ are in continued proportion.
