Question 66

A certain amount of money is divided amoung x,y and z. If x receives 25% more than y and y receives 25% less than z, then x:y:z is equal to

Solution

Let amount received by $$z=100$$

=> Amount received by $$y=100-(\frac{25}{100}\times100)=75$$

=> Amount received by $$x=75+(\frac{25}{100}\times75)=93.75$$

$$\therefore$$ $$x:y:z=93.75:75:100$$

= $$9375:7500:10000$$

Dividing each term by $$625$$, we get = $$15:12:16$$

=> Ans - (C)
