Correct Answer: 300%
Solution : Given, 30% of P = 15% of Q ⇒ ($\frac{30}{100}$)P = ($\frac{15}{100}$)Q ⇒ P = ($\frac{1}{2}$)Q also, 20% of Q = 10% of R ⇒ ($\frac{20}{100}$)Q = ($\frac{10}{100}$)R ⇒ Q = ($\frac{1}{2}$)R from the above two relations, we get, P = ($\frac{1}{4}$)R ⇒ R = 4P $\therefore$ R is more than P by $\frac{\text{R}-\text{P}}{\text{P}}$ × 100 = $\frac{4\text{P}-\text{P}}{\text{P}}$ × 100 = 300% Hence, the correct answer is 300%.
