The first, second and fourth terms of a proportion are 16, 24 and 54
respectively. Then the third term is:​

36

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression. The formula for a geometric progression is given as:

= ar^n-1

where

a = first term = 16

r = common ratio = 24/16 = 1.5

n = 3

Therefore, the 3rd term will be:

= ar^n-1

= 16 × 1.5^3-1

= 16 × 1.5²

= 36

Therefore, the third term of the progression is 36.
