Question:

If 45% of a certain number is equal to 6/5th of another number, what is the ratio between the numbers ?

Options:

9 : 11

8 : 3

1 : 7

7 : 4

Correct Answer:

8 : 3

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x, y

Given, 45% of x = $\frac{6}{5}$ of y

$\frac{9}{20}$ of x = $\frac{6}{5}$ of y

Thus, $\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{8}{3}$

or x : y = 8 : 3
