P is 6 times greater than Q then by what per cent is Q smaller than P?
Pick one
A) 84%
B) 85.5%
C) 80%
D) 83.33%
E) None
Solution: Let Q = 10.   Then, P = 60.   Q is 50 less than P.   Q, % less than P = (50 /60)*100 = 83.33%.   Alternative Method   10 (Q)==(6 times greater)==&gt; 60(P)==x%↓(Less than Q)==&gt;10 (Q).   Now, x = 50*100/60 = 83.33%.   Answer: Option 83.33%
