Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 56.
The weight of A is 20% more than the weight of B,
A : B = 120 : 100 = 6 : 5.........(1)
The weight of B is 30% more than the weight of C,
B : C = 130 : 100 = 13 : 10.....(2)
A : B : C = 78 : 65 : 50
Required % = (78 - 50)/50 × 100 = 56%
The weight of A is 56% more than the weight of C
