Answer
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation
Given:
Numbers 4, 8, 16 are in continued proportion.
Numbers to be in continued proportion, it should satisfy 4 : 8 = 8 : 16
Ratio 1 (4 : 8) =
Ratio 2 (8 : 16) =
Since the ratios are equal, the Assertion is True.
The reason states that a, b, c are in continued proportion if a : b = b : c. This is the mathematical definition of continued proportion.
This statement is correct and explains the assertion.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
