  1. The third proportional of the following numbers (x – y)², (x² – y²)² is :
    1. (x + y)³ (x – y)²
    2. (x + y)4 (x – y)²
    3. (x + y)² (x – y)²
    4. (x + y)² (x–y)³
Correct Option: B

If c be the third proportional between a and b, then

a
=
b
bc

⇒ a³ +
1
+ 3 × 3 = 27

⇒ c =
=
{(x² - y²)²}²
a(x - y)²

=
{(x + y)}4
(x - y)²

= (x + y)4 (x – y)²
