Given below are two statements:
Statement I: a% of b + b% of a = 2(a% of b)
Statement II: A sum of ₹ 731 is distributed among A, B and C such that A receives 25% more than B and B receives 25% less than C. Then C's share in the amount is ₹ 272.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Statement I: a% of b + b% of a = 2(a% of b)( True), because if we understand this with an example, 50% of 100 = 100% of 50
Statement II: A sum of ₹ 731 is distributed among A, B and C such that A receives 25% more than B and B receives 25% less than C. Then C's share in the amount is ₹ 272. ( True)
A B C
15x 12x 16x = 43x ( Total)
43x = 731
x = 17
So, 16x = 272
The correct answer is Option (1) → Both Statement I and Statement II are true
