    Question

    Product of one-third of a number and 150% of another number is what percent of the product of original number?

    A.

    80

    B.

    50

    C.

    75

    D.

    120

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Let the two original numbers be x and y
    We are comparing:
    (1/3 × x) × (150% of y) with x × y

    Formula:
    Required %=(13×x)×(1.5×y)x×y×100\text{Required } \% = \frac{\left(\frac{1}{3} \times x\right) \times \left(1.5 \times y\right)}{x \times y} \times 100​​

    Solution:
    Required %=13×1.5×x×yx×y×100=(13×1.5)×100=0.5×100=50%\text{Required } \% = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \times 1.5 \times x \times y}{x \times y} \times 100\\= \left(\frac{1}{3} \times 1.5\right) \times 100= 0.5 \times 100 = 50\%​​

     Correct Answer: (b) 50
