Chapter E, Problem 8.8EX

To determine

To find the geometric mean between 2 and 24.

Answer to Problem 8.8EX

Option (d)

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Two numbers 2 and 24.

Concept used:

Let $a\text{and}b$ be two numbers, then

Geometric mean $GM=\sqrt{ab}$

Here, a =2, b =24

Geometric mean: $GM=\sqrt{(2)(24)}=\sqrt{48}=4\sqrt{3}$

Hence, the geometric mean is $4\sqrt{3}$ .
