A number is 50% less than X and another number is 20% less than X. What is the ratio of the two numbers?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Let other two numbers are :- Y & Z
50% = \(\frac{1}{2}\) & 20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
Ratio of X : Y = 2 : 1
X : Z = 5 : 4
Ratio of X : Y : Z = 10 : 5 : 8
Ratio of Y to Z is
Y : Z = 5 : 8
