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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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
