Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 5 : 6.
Let the third number be 100
then the first number will be 100 + 25% of 100 = 100 + 25 = 125
Second number will be 100 + 50% of 100 = 100 + 50 = 150
The ratio of the first number to the second number is 125 : 150 = 5 : 6
