Question:

There are two numbers 'x' and 'y'. 40% of 'x' is equal to 60% of 'y'. If the average of 'x' and 'y' is 225, then what is the difference between 'x' and 'y'?

Options:

85

80

75

90

Correct Answer:

90

Explanation:

Total sum of x & y = 2 × 225 = 450

Given :- 40% of 'x' is equal to 60% of 'y'

So , Ratio of x to y is 3 : 2

According to question ,

5R = 450

1R = 90 ( difference 3R - 2R = 1R )

So , Difference is 90
