Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number. The ratio of the two numbers is:  Choose the correct choice from the following choices: A) 5:4 B) 4:5 C) 2:5 D) 5:2 E) None of them
Let the third number be x.   Then, first number = 120% of x = 120x/100 = 6x/5   Second number = 150% of x = 150x/100 = 3x/2   Therefore, Ratio of first two numbers = (6x/5 : 3x/2)   = 12x : 15x = 4 : 5.   Answer is 4:5.
