PercentageEasySSC CHSL 2024
If 40% of a number is 120, what is 75% of the same number?
- (A)210
- (B)225
- (C)90
- (D)120
Correct answer: (B) 225
40% of the number is 120, so the number is 120 × 100 ÷ 40 = 300. Now 75% of 300 = 300 × 75 ÷ 100 = 225. Hence the required value is 225.
Shortcut: Scale directly: 120 × 75/40 = 225.
