Question: Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number. The ratio of the two numbers is-Solution:Let the third number be x.Then, first number = 120% of x = 120x/100 = 6x/5Second number = 150% of x = 150x/100 = 3x/2∴ Ratio of first two numbers = (6x/5 : 3x/2) = 12x : 15x = 4 : 5
