48% of the 1st number is 60% of the 2nd number. What is the ratio of the 1st number to the 2 nd number?
Correct Answer: 5 : 4
Explanation:
Let 1st number be M and 2nd number be M.
According to the question,
48% of M = 60% N
⇒ (M x 48)/100 = (N x 60)/100
⇒ M/N = (60/100) x (100/48) = 5/4
∴ M : N = 5 : 4
