Arrange the following in ascending order.
(A) 12.5% of 1960
(B) 5% of 6000
(C) 9% of 3000
(D) 11% of 2000
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (D), (A), (C), (B)
1. Calculation of Each Value
(A) $12.5\%$ of $1960$:
Since $12.5\%$ is equivalent to $\frac{1}{8}$ (or $0.125$):
$1960 \times 0.125 = \mathbf{245}$
(B) $5\%$ of $6000$:
$6000 \times 0.05 = \mathbf{300}$
(C) $9\%$ of $3000$:
$3000 \times 0.09 = \mathbf{270}$
(D) $11\%$ of $2000$:
$2000 \times 0.11 = \mathbf{220}$
2. Arrange in Ascending Order
Comparing the calculated values:
$220 < 245 < 270 < 300$
This corresponds to the sequence:
(D) $\rightarrow$ (A) $\rightarrow$ (C) $\rightarrow$ (B)
