Question

If A is 80% more than B and B is 20% less than C, then what will be the value of A : B : C?

A.

36 : 20 : 25

B.

36 : 5 : 20

C.

20 : 25 : 36

D.

36 : 25 : 20

Correct option is A

Given:

A is 80% more than B and B is 20% less than C

Solution:

Let be C be 100Q

Hence,

B = 100Q - 100Q × 20% = 80Q

A = 80Q + 80% × 80Q = 144Q

Thus,

A : B : C

=> 144Q : 80Q : 100Q

=> 36 : 20 : 25

∴ The value of A : B : C  is  36 : 20 : 25.
