Question 121

Three-fourth of a number is equal to 60% of another number. What is the difference between the numbers?

Solution

Let the numbers be $$x$$ and $$y$$

Acc to ques,

=> $$\frac{3}{4} \times x = \frac{60}{100} \times y$$

=> $$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{y}{5}$$

=> $$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{5}$$

Clearly, no unique answer is possible.
