Question 63

Two numbers are, respectively, 17% and 50% more than a third number. The ratio of the two numbers is:

Solution

Let the third number is 100

given in question,

First number is 17% more than 3rd number

i.e; $$\left(\frac{17}{100}\times\ 100\right)+100=117$$

Second number is 50% more than 3rd number

i.e; $$\left(\frac{50}{100}\times\ 100\right)+100=150$$

Required ratio = $$\frac{117}{150}$$

i.e; 39 : 50

Hence, Option A is correct
