To do :

We have to write the extremes of the given proportions.

Solution :

In proportion a : b : : c : d,

'a' and 'd' are extremes.

'b' and 'c' are means.

 (a) 4 : 5 : : 16 : 20

Therefore, in the given proportion 4 and 20 are extremes.

 (b) 1 : 6 : 4 : 24    

Therefore, in the given proportion 1 and 24 are extremes.
