What is the least number to be subtracted from 11, 15, 21 and 30 each so that the resultant numbers become proportional?

Answer»

3



Let the least NUMBER to be SUBTRACTED be 'x', then 11 - x, 15 - x, 21 - x and 30 - x are in proportion.
<=> (11 - x):(15 - x) = (21 - x):(30 -x)(21 - x)
From the options, when x = 3
=> 8 * 27 = 12 * 18 => then x = 3. => (11 - x)(30 - x) = (15 - x)(21 - x)
