If A exceeds B by 40%, B is less than C by20%, then A : C is :

A. 28:25

B. 26:25

C. 3:2

D. 3:1

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Given,

 A = B + 40% of B

A = 140/100 * B

Now,

A/B = 14/10

B = C - 20% of C

B = 80/100 *C

B/C = 8/10

SO,

A/C = (A/B) * (B/C) = (14 *8) / (10 *10) = 28 : 25.

    A= B + 40% of B = 140/100 * B
    So, A/B = 140/100
    Again, B = C - 20% of C = 80/100 of C
    So, B/C = 80/100
    Therefore, A:C = A/B * B/C = 140/100 * 80/100 = 28:25
