Raju and Ramu have more land than Sonu by 15% and 25%, respectively. What is the ratio of land owned by Raju and Ramu?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 23 : 25.
Raju's land = ( S + 15% ) of ( S ) = ( S + 0.15S = 1.15S )
Ramu's land = ( S + 25% ) of ( S) = ( S + 0.25S = 1.25S )
Raju's land / Ramu's land = 1.15S / 1.25S
⇒ 1.15 / 1.25 = 115 / 125
⇒ 23 / 25
⇒ 23:25
