  • D$19.5xy$

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The mean proportional between two algebraic terms a\displaystyle a and b\displaystyle b is defined as a⋅b\displaystyle a⋅b\displaystyle \sqrt{a \cdot b}.
For the terms $12x^2\displaystyle and $27y^2, we calculate:
Mean Proportional=12x2×27y2\displaystyle \text{Mean Proportional} = \sqrt{12x^2 ×\displaystyle \times 27y^2}
=324x2y2=18xy= 324x2y2=18xy\displaystyle \sqrt{324 x^2 y^2} = 18xy
