Statement 1: The mean proportion of 6\sqrt{6} and 5\sqrt{5} is 6+52\dfrac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{5}}{2}.

Statement 2: The mean proportion of two positive real numbers x and y is x×y\sqrt{x \times y}.

  1. Both the statements are true.

  2. Both the statements are false.

  3. Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

Answer

Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.

Reason

The mean proportion of two positive real numbers x and y is x×y\sqrt{x \times y}

The mean proportion of 6\sqrt{6} and 5\sqrt{5} = 6×5\sqrt{\sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{5}}

= 30=304\sqrt{\sqrt{30}} = \sqrt[4]{30}

So, statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
