Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
Product of 1st and 4th terms (extremes) = product of 2nd and 3rd terms (means)
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow {\text{2}}{\text{.5}}x = {\text{40}} \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{40}}{{2.5}} = 16 \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow {\text{2}}{\text{.5}}x = {\text{40}} \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{40}}{{2.5}} = 16 \cr} $$
