• A. 25 : 42
• B. 25 : 33
• C. 16 : 17
• D. 16 : 19

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 25 : 33

Given:

Two numbers are respectively 25% and 65% more than the third number.

Formula:

x% more a number = Actual number $\times\frac{(100 + x)}{100}$

Calculation:

Let third number be 100, then

First number = $100\times\frac({125}{100})=125$

Second number = $100\times(\frac{165}{100})=165$

∴ Ratio of the two numbers = 125 : 165 = 25 : 33
