1.

A is 35% more than B, B is 25% less than C and C is 20% more than D. Which of the following is true?1. C is 1.5% less than A2. D is 10% more than B3. A is 1.25% more than C4.  D is 21.25% less than A

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : A is 1.25% more than C

Given :

A is 35% more than B,

B is 25% less than C

C is 20% more than D

Solution:

Let the value of D be 100 

C = D + 20% of D = 120 

B = C - 25% of C = 90 

A = B + 35% of B = 121.5 

Now checking all the options 

Option 1

⇒ {(121.5 - 120)/121.5} × 100 = 1.23%

C is 1.23% less than A, Option 1 is false

Option 2

⇒ {(100 - 90/90} × 100 = 11.11%

D is 11.11% more than B, Option 2 is false

Option 3

⇒ {(121.5 - 120)/120} × 100 = 1.25%

A is 1.25% more than C, Option 3 is true

∴ Option 3 is the correct choice as this is satisfying the given condition
