Answer 1

Given:

If 18, 36, 14, and y are in proportion, then:

18 : 36 = 14 : y

Formula used:

In proportion, a : b = c : d is equivalent to \(\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\)

Calculation:

\(\frac{18}{36} = \frac{14}{y}\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2} = \frac{14}{y}\)

⇒ y = 14 × 2

⇒ y = 28

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
