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