Question

If 25% of a number is subtracted from 2nd number, the second number reduces to its 5/6th.
What is the ratio of the first and second number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio is 2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the first and second numbers, respectively

ATQ,

y - 25% of x = 5/6 of y

y - x/4 = 5y/6. 25% = 1/4

y - 5y/6 = x/4

y/6 = x/4

x/y = 4/6

x/y = 2/3

x:y = 2:3
