A is 35% more than B, B is 25% less than C and C is 20% more than D. Which of the following is true?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. A is 1.25% more than C.

Let D = 100

C = 120

B = 120 × (3/4) = 90

A = 90 × (135/100) = 121.5

Option 3:

(A - C)/C × 100 = (121.5 - 120)/120 × 100 = 1.25%

Hence, A is 1.25% more than C.
