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
