236. Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number. The ratio of the two numbers is :__________?

A. 2 : 5
B. 3 : 5
C. 4 : 5
D. 6 : 7
✅ The correct answer is option C. 4 : 5.
Let the third number be x.

Then, first number = 120% of x = 120x/100 = 6x/5 second numbet = 150% of x = 150x/100 = 3x/2 Ratio of first two numbers = 6x/5 : 3x/2 =12x : 15x = 4 : 5.

239. A can do a certain work-in the same time in which B and C together can do it. If A and B together could do it in 10 days and C alone in 50 days, then B alone could do it in_________?

A. 15 days
B. 20 days
C. 25 days
D. 30 days
✅ The correct answer is option C. 25 days.
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = 1/10; C’s 1 day’s work = 1/50 (A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = 1/10 + 1/50 = 6/50 = 3/25 Also, A’s 1 day’s work = (B + C)’s 1 day’s work

From (i) and (ii), we get : 2 x (A’s 1 day’s work) = 3/25 As 1 day’s work = 3/50 B’s 1 day’s work = 1/10 – 3/50 = 2/50 = 1/25 So, B alone could do the work in 25 days.
