Question:

If the sum of 5% of x and 4% of y is $\frac{2}{3}$ of the sum of 6% of x and 8% of y, then the ratio of y to x is:

Options:

4 : 3

4 : 5

3 : 4

3 : 2

Correct Answer:

3 : 4

Explanation:

( 5% of x + 4% of y ) = $\frac{2}{3}$ ( 6% of x + 8% of y )

( 15% of x + 12% of y ) = ( 12% of x + 16% of y )

3% of x = 4% of y

x : y = 3 : 4

The correct answer is Option (3) → 3 : 4
