Two numbers are, respectively, 10% and 25% more than the third number. The ratio of the two numbers is:
Answer
Correct Answer : a ) 22 : 25
Explanation :Let the third number be X.
The two numbers are 10% and 25% more than the third number.
First number = X + 10% of X
First number = X + 0.1 X = 1.1 X
Second number = X + 25% of X
Second number = X + 0.25 X = 1.25 X
Ratio of First number to Second number = 1.1 X/ 1.25 X = 1.1/1.25
Ratio of First number to Second number = 110/125 = 22/25
Hence, (a) is the correct answer
