A is 25% more than B while B is 20% less than C and C is 10% more than D. Which of the following is not true?
Given,Â
A is 25% more than B while B is 20% less than C and C is 10% more than D
Let the D = 100Â
Then, C =Â $$100\times\ \frac{110}{100}=110$$
$$\therefore B=\ 110\times\ \frac{80}{100}=88$$
$$\therefore A=\ 88\times\ \frac{125}{100}=110$$
Lets check option wise :Â
Option A :Â
B is 22% less than A :Â
i.e; Required % =Â $$\frac{110-88}{110}\times\ 100\ =\ 20\%$$
So, Option A is not true.Â
Option B :Â
A is 10% more than D
i.e; =Â $$\frac{110-100}{100}\times\ 100\ =\ 10\%$$
So, Option B is true
Option C :Â
B is 12 % less than D :
$$\frac{100-88}{100}\times\ 100\ =\ 12\%$$
So, Option C is true
Option D :Â
A = C
A = 110 , C = 110
So, Option D is true,Â
Hence, Option A is not true. that is correct answer.
