Concept used:

The third proportional proportion is the second term of the mean terms.

For example, if we have a ∶ b = c ∶ d, then the term ‘c’ is the third proportional to ‘a’ and ‘b’.

Represented as:

a : b ∷ b : c

Calculation:

Let the third proportion to 6 and 24 be x

⇒ 6/24 = 24/x

⇒ x = (24 × 24)/6

⇒ x = 96

∴ The third proportional to 6 and 24 is 96
