Answer: (b)

Let the numbers be 4x and 5x.

After corresponding increase or decrease,

= 12x : 10x = 6 : 5

a) 40%

b) 12.5%

c) 80%

a) 3 : 2

b) 3 : 1

c) 26 : 25

d) 28 : 25

Answer: (d)

Let B = 100

According to question,

A is 40% greater than B. ∴ A = 140

B is 20% less than C

⇒ 0.8C = 100∴ C = 125

∴ A : C = 140 : 125 = 28 : 25

Question : 4

b) 23 : 11

c) 11 : 9

d) 23 : 17

Answer: (d)

Let the numbers be x and y where x > y.

Then, x - y =$15/100$(x + y)

x – y = $3/20$(x + y)

20x – 20y = 3x + 3y

20x – 3x = 20y + 3y

17x = 23y ⇒ $x/y = 23/17$
