A's weight is 25% of that of B and 40% of that of C. What percentage of C's weight is B's weight?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
A = 25% of B = \(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\)B
A : B = 1 : 4
A = 40% of C = \(\frac{ 2 }{ 5}\)C
A : C = 2 : 5
Now, A : B : C = 2 : 8 : 5
Percentage of C's weight is B's weight = \(\frac{ 8}{ 5 }\) × 100%
= 160%
The correct answer is Option (3) → 160%
