Question
Show that the numbers $25, 36, 5, 6$ are not in proportion.
✓
Answer
Product of the extremes $= 25 \times 6 = 150$
Product of the means $= 36 \times 5 = 180$
The product of the extremes is not equal to that of the means.
Hence, $25, 36, 5$ and $6$ are not in proportion.
Product of the means $= 36 \times 5 = 180$
The product of the extremes is not equal to that of the means.
Hence, $25, 36, 5$ and $6$ are not in proportion.
