(a) 35k (b) 45k (c)55k (d)65K (e) 75K​

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{ x = 75 k}`

Explanation:

The given ratio is:

=> 5 : 1

Given that the smallest one is 15k

So, Let's built a proportion:

=> 5 : 1 = x : 15 [Where x is the unknown one]

Product of Means = Product of Extremes

x = 5 * 15

=> x = 75 k
