What is the geometric mean of 4 and 16?

  • A 6
  • B 8
  • C 10
  • D 12
Correct Answer: Option B — 8
Explanation: Geometric mean = √(a×b) = √(4×16) = √64 = 8. Geometric mean is appropriate for data involving ratios or multiplicative growth unlike arithmetic mean for additive data. The geometric mean always lies between the arithmetic mean (10) and harmonic mean of the same two numbers.
