Question : Rani's weight is 25% that of Meena's and 40% that of Tara's. What percentage of Tara's weight is equal to Meena's weight?
Option 1: 160%
Option 2: 140%
Option 3: 120%
Option 4: 100%
Correct Answer: 160%
Solution : 25% = $\frac{1}{4}$ So, Rani : Meena = 1 : 4 = 2 : 8 Now, 40% = $\frac{2}{5}$ So, Rani : Tara = 2 : 5 Now, the ratio of Rani : Meena : Tara = 2 : 8 : 5 Let the weight of Rani, Meena, and Tara be $2x,8x,$ and $5x$ respectively. Let $r$% of Tara's weight equal to Meena's weight. So, $r$% of $5x$ = $8x$ ⇒ $r=\frac{8x}{5x}×100$ $\therefore r=$ 160% Hence, the correct answer is 160%.
