Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 15 : 14 Given: The number A is 50% more than the number C. The number B is 40% more than the number C. Concept Used: The increased value = Value × (100 + percentage)/100 Calculation: Let the value of C be x. Then , the value of A = (100 + 50)/100 × x = 3x/2 The value of B = (100 + 40)/100 × x = 7x/5 Then, the ratio of A and B = 3x/2 : 7x/5 The ratio of A and B = 15 : 14 ∴ The ratio of the number A and B is 15 : 14. |
