Correct Answer: $2 \sqrt{6}$
Solution : We know that LCM × HCF = Product of two numbers Now Mean proportion = $\sqrt{\text{Product of two numbers}}$ Given: LCM = 12 HCF = 2 $\therefore$ Product of two numbers $= 12 \times 2 = 24$ Mean proportion $=\sqrt{24} = \sqrt{4\times 6}=2\sqrt{6}$ Hence the correct answer is $2\sqrt{6}$.
