Two numbers X and Y are such that the sum of 3% of X and 2% of Y is two-third of the sum of 2% of X and 6% of Y.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 6 : 5.
0.03x + 0.02y = (2/3)(0.02x + 0.06y)
3x + 2y = 4x/3 + 4y
5x/3 = 2y
The ratio of x : y = 6 : 5
