If A is 40% less than B and C is 40% of the sum of A and B, then by what percentage is B greater than C?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 56.
A is 40% less than B.
Let B be 100x then A = 60x.
C = 40% of (A + B)
C = 40/100 × (160x)
C = 64x.
Required % = (100x - 64x)/64x × 100 = 56.25%.
