Download Solution PDFE is 25% greater than B. The ratio of the A and B is 5:7 and D is 18 greater than C which is 60% of A. The ratio of C and D is 4:7. What is the value of E?
Given below are steps involved in the solution. Arrange them in sequential order.
(A) C = 4 × 6 = 24
(B) B = (7/5) × 40 = 56
(C) Let C and D be 4k and 7k respectively
(D) E = (125/100) × 56 = 70
(E) D - C = 18 => 7k - 4k = 18 => k = 6
(F) A = (100/60) × 24 = 40
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
E is 25% greater than B.
A : B = 5 : 7
D is 18 greater than C.
C = 60% of A
C : D = 4 : 7
Formula Used:
Percentage increase: New Value = Original Value × (1 + Percentage/100)
Calculations:
Sequential order of steps: C, E, A, B, F, D
(C) Let C and D be 4k and 7k respectively
(E) D - C = 18 ⇒ 7k - 4k = 18 ⇒ 3k = 18 ⇒ k = 6
(A) C = 4 × 6 = 24
(F) A = (100/60) × 24 = 40
(B) B = (7/5) × 40 = 56
(D) E = (125/100) × 56 = 1.25 × 56 = 70
The correct sequence is: CEAFBD.
