Question

When any number is divided by 12 then dividend becomes $\frac{1}{4}th$ of the other number By how much percent first number is greater than the second number?

• A. 150%
• B. 200%
• C. 300%
• D. Data inadequate

Answer 1

The correct option is B 200%

Let the number be x and y
Then
$\frac{x}{12}=\frac{y}{4}\Rightarrow x=3y$
Required percentage $=(\frac{x-y}{y}\times 100)$%
$=(\frac{3y-y}{y}\times 100)\Rightarrow (\frac{2y}{y}\times 100)$%
$\Rightarrow 200$%
