75% of a number is equal to $\Large \frac{5}{8}^\text{th}$ of another number. What is the ratio between the first number and the second number respectively?

A 5 : 4

B6 : 5

C4 : 5

D5 : 6

Nithin Aug 12 '2022 at 21:0

Correct answer is: 5 : 6

Explanation:

Let the number be x and y respectively.

$\therefore \Large \frac{75x}{100}=\frac{5y}{8}$
$= \Large \frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{100}{75} = \frac{5}{6} or\ 5 : 6$

D None of these

Correct answer is: None of these

Explanation:

Let the original number of students in Arts and Science faculties be 5x and 8x respectively.

According to the question,

$\frac{5x+150}{8x+80} = \frac{3}{4}$

$\implies 24x + 240 = 20x + 600$

$\implies 4x = 360$

$\implies x= 9$

$\therefore \text{Original number of students = 5x + 8x = 13x}$

$= 13 × 90 = 1170$

A6 : 5 : 9

B6 : 5 : 4

D10 : 12 : 15

Nithin Aug 11 '2022 at 21:53

Correct ander is: 12 : 10 : 15

Explanation:

Let the production of company B = 100 units

Therefore, Production of company A = 120 units

Production of company C 120 x 100 = $\Large \frac{120 \times 100}{80}$ = 150 units

Therefore, Required ratio =120 : 100 : 150

= 12 : 10 : 15

C70

D60

Nithin Aug 11 '2022 at 21:43

Correct answer is: 75

Explanation:

Let the no. of increased boys and girls be x each
Thus $\frac{(20 + x)}{(25 + x)} = \frac{7}{8}$
Thus x = 15
Hence number of members of group = 20 + 15 + 25 + 15 = 75
