If p 5 12 and 20 are in proportion find the value of p.
Given:
$p,\ 5,\ 12,\ 20 $ are in proportion.
To do:
We have to find the value of $p$.
Solution:
$\Rightarrow p:5=12:20$
$\Rightarrow p \times 20=5\times 12$ [Since, the product of the means = the product of the extremes]
$\Rightarrow 20p=60$
$\Rightarrow p=\frac{60}{20}$
$\Rightarrow p=3$
Thus, the value of $p$ is $3$.
