    When 20% of a number is added to another number, the number increases by 50%. What is the ratio between the two numbers?

    A)  \[3:2\]

    B)  \[2:3\]

    C)  \[5:2\]

    D) Cannot be determined

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the two number be x and y. \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,y+20%x=\,\,y+50%y\] \[y+\frac{x}{5}=\frac{3}{2}\,y\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}=\frac{1}{2}y\,;\,\,\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{2}\] \[x:y=\underline{\mathbf{5:2}}\]
