Question

Ravi's salary is $150\%$ of Amit's salary. Amit's salary is $80\%$ of Ram's salary. What is the ratio of Ram's salary to Ravi's salary?

• A. $\frac{5}{7}$
• B. $\frac{5}{9}$
• C. $\frac{5}{6}$
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\Rightarrow$ Let Ram's Salary be $Rs.100$

$\Rightarrow$ So, Amit's salary will be $80\%$ of $Rs.100$ i.e. $Rs.80$

$\Rightarrow$ Now, Ravi's salary is $150\%$ of $Rs.80$

$\therefore$ Ravi's Salary = $\frac{150}{100}\times 80=Rs.120$

$\therefore$ $Ratio$ = $\frac{Ra{m}^{\prime }ssalary}{Rav{i}^{\prime }ssalary}=\frac{100}{120}=\frac{5}{6}$
