  • (B) +16
  • (C) +9
  • (D) –8
  • Solution: To work this out, we’ll go through it, step by step.
  • The mean proportional, also called the geometric mean, between two numbers, say a and b, is obtained as follows:
  • Mean Proportional = √(a × b)
  • In the question, the two numbers are 4 and 16, which correspond to a and b, respectively.
  • Step 1: Multiply the two numbers:
  • 4 × 16 = 64
  • Step 2: Take the square root:
