    Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number. These two numbers are in the ratio

    A) 2 : 5

    B) 4 : 5

    C) 6 : 7

    D) 3 : 5

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let the third number be x. Then 1st number = 120% of x             \[=\left( \frac{120}{100\times x} \right)=\frac{6x}{5}\] 2nd number = 150% of x             \[=\left( \frac{150}{100}\times x \right)=\frac{3x}{2}\] Ratio of these numbers \[=\frac{6x}{5}:\frac{3x}{2}=12:15=4:5\]
