Answer»

Given, two numbers are 35% and 50% lesser than a THIRD number

Let the third number be ‘a’

1st number = a - 35% of a = 0.65a

2nd number = a - 50% of a = 0.5a

Let the % by which second number be enhanced be ‘c’%.

0.5a + c% of 0.5a = 0.65a

⇒ 0.5c/100 = 0.15

⇒ c = 30

Alternate Method:

Given, two numbers are 35% and 50% lesser than a third number

Let's assume the third number be 100

1st$ number = 65

2nd$ number = 50

Required PERCENATGE = ((65 - 50)/50) X 100

= 1500/50

= 30.
