(C) 9% of 3000
(D) 11% of 2000

Options:

(A), (B), (D), (C)

(D), (B), (C), (A)

(D), (A), (C), (B)

(D), (C), (A), (B)

Correct Answer:

(D), (A), (C), (B)

Explanation:

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)
