Question

    ‘L’ has 28% fewer books than ‘M’. ‘M’ has 30%

    more books than ‘N’. By what percent is the number of books with ‘L’ less than that with ‘N’?
    A 42% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 34% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the number of books with ‘M’ be ‘50x’.

    Books with ‘L’ = 0.72 × 50x = 36x

    Books with ‘N’ = (50x / 1.3) = 38.46x

    Required percentage = {(38.46x – 36x)/38.46x} × 100 ≈ 6.4% or 6%
