Q: If the given two numbers are respectively 6% and 18% of a third number, then what percentage is the first of the second ?
Options:
(A) 20%
(B) 25%
(C) 18%
(D) 33 1/3%
(E) none of these Let's give some random thoughts before answering.
Here, l = 6 and m = 18
Therefore, first number = l/m x 100% of second number = 6/18 x 100% of second number = 33 1/3% of second number
Therefore, the answer is (D).
