If A is 28% less than B and C is 25% less than the sum of A and B, then by what percentage will C be more than A (correct to one decimal place)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 79.2%
According to the question
A: B = 18 : 25
C : (A + B) = 3 : 4
After equating the ratio
A: B: C = 72: 100: 129
Now, C is (129 - 72) = 57 more than A
The required % = (57/72) * 100 = 79.2%
