Correct Answer: 50
Solution :
Given that the ratio of the three numbers is 6 : 5 : 9.
Let the three numbers be 6a, 5a, and 9a respectively.
We know that 20% of the first number is 30.
⇒ $\frac{20}{100}$ × 6a = 30
⇒ a = 25
The second number is 5a = 5 × 25 = 125
The third number is 9a = 9 × 25 = 225
The difference between the third and second numbers = 225 – 125 = 100
Finally, 50% of this difference = $\frac{50}{100}$ × 100 = 50
Hence, the correct answer is 50.
