Two numbers are respectively 61% and 35% less than a third number. The first number is what percentage of the second number?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 60%.
Let the third number be 100x.
According to the given question,
First number = 100x × 39/100 = 39x
Second number = 100x × 65/100 = 65x
Now, required percentage = (39x/65x) × 100
⇒ (3/5) × 100 = 60%
