a) x=115,\ \ y=150
b) x=125,\ \ y=150
c) x=125,\ \ y=250
d) x=105,\ \ y=150
Correct answer is:
b) x=125,\ \ y=150
Explanation
According to the question,
76% of a number x, is 95
\therefore\left(x\times\large\frac{76}{100}\right)\normalsize=95
\rightarrow\left(\large\frac{76x}{100}\right)\normalsize=95
\rightarrow 76x=\left(95\times100\right)
\rightarrow x=\left(\large\frac{95\times100}{76}\right)
\therefore x=125
So that, ‘x’ value is 125.
And,
38% of a number y, is 57
\therefore\left(y\times\large\large\frac{38}{100}\right)\normalsize=57
\rightarrow\left(\large\frac{38y}{100}\right)\normalsize=57
\rightarrow 38y=\left(57\times100\right)
\rightarrow y=\left(\large\frac{57\times100}{38}\right)
\therefore y=150
So that, ‘y’ value is 150.
\therefore Number ‘y’ is greater than number ‘x’.
Ans: x=125,\ \ y=150. ‘y’ is greater than ‘x’.
