The third proportional to (52 - 32) and (5 - 3) is:
Formula used:
If a:b = b:c, then c is the third proportional to a and b.
Calculation:
The given values are:
a = 52 - 32 = 16
b = 5 - 3 = 2
We need to find c such that:
a:b = b:c
⇒ 16:2 = 2:c
⇒ 16/2 = 2/c
⇒ 8 = 2/c
⇒ c = 2/8
⇒ c = 1/4
Thus, the third proportional to (52 - 32) and (5 - 3) is 1/4.
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
