Given:

2, 64, 86, and y are in proportion.

Formula used:

If a, b, c, and d are in proportion, then \(\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\).

Calculation:

\(\frac{2}{64} = \frac{86}{y}\)

\(\frac{2}{64} = \frac{86}{y}\)

\(\frac{1}{32} = \frac{86}{y}\)

⇒ y = 86 × 32

⇒ y = 2752

∴ The correct answer is option (3).
