Explanation of Extreme Terms with the Help of Examples

Following example explains How to Find or Locate Extreme Terms in a Statement of Proportion.

Example 1 : Find extreme terms of the following:
a) 1 : 2 :: 11 : 22
b) 15 : 30 :: 8 : 16
c) 50 : 25 :: 8 : 4

Answer = Extreme Terms of the following ratio in Proportion:
a) 1 : 2 :: 11 : 22
1 & 22 are Extreme Terms

b) 15 : 30 :: 8 : 16
15 & 16 are Extreme Terms

c) 50 : 25 :: 8 : 4
50 & 4 are Extreme Terms

Example 2 : Find extreme terms of the following:
a) 10 : 20 :: 1 : 2
b) 5 : 30 :: 2 : 12
c) 3 : 27 :: 1 : 9

Answer = The proceed is as :
a) 10 : 20 :: 1 : 2
10 & 2 are Extreme Terms

b) 5 : 30 :: 2 : 12
5 & 12 are Extreme Terms

c) 3 : 27 :: 1 : 9
3 & 9 are Extreme Terms

Example 3 : Find extreme terms in the following statements of proportion
a) 9 : 81 :: 5 : 45
b) 100 : 50 :: 80 : 40
c) 1 : 13 :: 2 : 26

Answer = The proceed is as :

a) 9 : 81 :: 5 : 45
9 & 45 are Extreme Terms in the Proportion

b) 100 : 50 :: 80 : 40
100 & 40 are Extreme Terms in the Proportion

c) 1 : 13 :: 2 : 26
1 & 26 are Extreme Terms in the Proportion
