Q. If 120 is reduced by $$x%$$, the same result will be obtained if 40 is increased by $$x%$$. Then $$x%$$ of 210 will be what percentage less than $$(x + 20)% of 180$$?

  • (A). 18
  • (B). $$16 2/3$$
  • (C). 20
  • (D). $$33 1/3$$
Option (B) is Correct

$$120(1-x/100)=40(1+x/100)$$
$$3-(3x)/100=1+x/100$$
$$(4x)/100=2$$
$$x=50$$
$$x% of 210 = 210xx50/100=105$$
$$(x+20)% of 180 = 180xx70/100=126$$
Required percentage = $$(126-105)/126 xx 100 = 16 2/3%$$
