Two numbers are, respectively, 25% and 30% less than a third number. What is the ratio of the first two numbers, in the order mentioned in the previous statement?

15 : 14

25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\) & 30% = \(\frac{3}{10}\) 

Let three numbers are P , Q & R

ATQ,

P :  R = 3 : 4 & Q : R = 7 : 10

Now , P : Q : R = 15 : 14 : 20

Ratio of P & Q = 15 : 14
